Yeah, they wanna get the cemetery back so they don't find out what else was going on there!
They're back? Sneed hears the company that owns Burr Oak cemetery is poised to take back control of the beleaguered graveyard today because of bankruptcy rules.
That means Roman Szabelski, the Catholic Cemeteries executive director put in charge of Burr Oak by a judge in the wake of the body-dumping and grave-selling scandal, will have to turn over the keys.
And he'll have to hand them to the cemetery's original owners -- Perpetua. "It's disappointing, but I'm not totally shocked," said Szabelski's attorney, James Geoly.
That's because after Perpetua filed for bankruptcy protection on Monday, it was allowed to resume control, under bankruptcy law.
There could be a reprieve for Szabelski, though. The same Cook County officials who pushed for someone other than Perpetua to clean up the Burr Oak mess could ask a judge to keep him aboard.
Stay tuned.
The bottom line: It's a safe bet the cemetery will not be reopened in October.
