Two men have been arrested for violating graves in Mt. Dora, Florida, and taking four skulls to the home of one of the men. Three of the graves belonged to men who were military veterans. The other grave belonged to a woman. The pair targeted the graves of military veterans because they wanted skulls that belonged to heroic souls.
The two have been arrested by the Polk County Sheriffs Department on request by the Lake County Sheriffs Department. Both counties are in central Florida.
Apparently the dark Caribbean religious rituals they were following involves leaving items at the scene, including candles and partly burned cigars. It was DNA from one of the cigars that led police to Brian Montalvo Tolentino, 43. Tolentino confessed and told Sheriffs Deputies that he was helping Juan Burgos Lopez, 39, with the religious rituals, which require skulls and bones.
The story has been reported by numerous news outlets.
