Authorities investigating headless chickens in county parks

MILWAUKEE (AP) - Authorities are investigating reports of beheaded chickens and roosters found in Milwaukee County parks.

WITI-TV reports (http://bit.ly/1De96uQ ) reports The South Milwaukee Police Department investigated a report of a headless rooster found near tea candles at Grant Park.

The station says the Milwaukee County Sheriff's Office investigated another chicken that was found with its head cut off at Bender Park, but the scene did not include candles there, just the beheaded chicken.

Investigators believe whoever is chopping the heads off of fowl may be conducting some kind of a sacrificial ritual.
