Teen Tomb Raider Steals Head to Make Bong

Tue, Apr 12, 2005 11:18 am

MORRISVILLE, Vt. Apr 11, 2005 — A 17-year-old Morrisville youth was being held on $100,000 bail after police said he raided a tomb in a cemetery and removed a head from a corpse.

"We had a person voice their concerns about information they had heard on the street," said Chief Richard Keith of the Morristown Police Department.

Keith said police at first could not believe what they had heard. But when they went to Morrisville Cemetery and investigated, they found that someone had broken into a tomb, broken open the casket and removed a man's head.

"We had the funeral director come to the scene and we pulled the casket out. Yes, indeed, we found remains and they had been disturbed," Keith said.

Nickolas Buckalew, 17, later was arrested and charged with unauthorized removal of a dead body. He pleaded innocent to the crime.

Police believe they have a strong case against Buckalew because remains and evidence were found in a silo near the suspect's home outside the village and 2/10ths of a mile from the cemetery.

"Within minutes we found the duffle bag with the remains in it and tools that were used to enter the tomb and the casket," Keith said.

The victim's widow, the only family member in the area, was told of the vandalism.

"The widow was in shock," the chief said. "She did not want any information. She did not want to know any details."

Authorities are not sure of the motive of the crime. Court documents said the suspect allegedly talked of using the man's head as a bong or a pipe for smoking marijuana.

Yeah that was a really nasty thing he did. And as for the cops, it was probably them who dug the head up and smoked out of it for all we know. Crooked ass cops.

FIrst I dont endorse stealing a head. But just to throw you guys a bone (hehe), if he was going to use it has a pipe/bong I dont think he would have used the entire actual head. Just the skull.

THink about it, all you need is a small air tight container for the chamber two tubes that would run from mouth to the self contained chamber then to the bowl or stem for bowl assembly.

You throw some black velvet behind the eyes and any other open sections in the brain cavity. Throw your chamber and pipes in the brain cavity, then spray foam them in place by filling the brain cavity with foam.

Self contained and safe. Of course you would have bleached the skull so that it was no longer a hazard any of this before this.

This would actually be a thousand times safer then smoking out of a Au can as suggested earlyer.

If you wanted to do this though you can buy pre-cleaned skulls from many places (they use them for science after all )Or a cheap mold of a skull.

Again I dont agree with desacration of a grave. But any one that says you are fucked up for using bones is just silly. People have been using bones for ages for pipes and other tools. Look up the history of pot its self and you will see that some tribes used bones.

If you want stupid using pop cans, tins, or any thing else that will reach a smoking point the same or lower then pot is just plain retarded. Metal vapour and plastic vapour are posions, bone requires a much higher temprature to burn abd is pretty safe.

It is very fucked up for anyone to disturb a corpse, especially if they have to go through the trouble of breaking into something. But, in my opinion, the most fucked up thing is that the story claims it was done in order to make a bong or pipe. What evidence do they have to make such a claim? Think about it people, there is no way you could just take a human skull and put a bowl in it for a working peice. No sir. You would have to seal up all of the holes and cracks and shit, then drill a couple of good holes into it, even then it wont look cool (which is the only conceivable reason for attempting such a construction). I personally will never beleive that this crime was commited in order to make a peice unless the dude is retarded or on some real drugs or something. We all must make the truth clear to ourselves and others through objective reading. Think for yourselves, dont let the writers do it for you.

What the fuck? The authorities are not sure of the motive, but there was alleged talk of making a bong or a pipe. Why not blame it on a pot-head? assholes cops have nothing better to do than try to give smoking pot a worse wrap. Just goes to show the cops are getting scared, people aren't looking at pot the same way these days, cops are losing ground so they have to start making up shit. Give up just legalize.

Reminds me of a buddy who liberated more than 100 feet of intestine from a dead inmate. After shredding the entrails into a more reasonable length he sold the pieces to a Brownie outfit as hair scrunchees.

haha That's the most ridiculas thing I've ever heard!!!

He was either completely insane or they made it up. Watch out for the next geeky type to protest about dead heads associating cannabis use with stupid behaviour that's likely to put the case for legalisation back several years...by which time the climate will be so overheated that you be able to grow Malawi sensi at the North Pole in winter.

Here's a nice sensible story about Cannabis usage...

(Includes 2 Cannabis recipies...I would recommend that you put much more gear in the mix than she does...put loads in and go into a deep trance and warp-out...a pyscotropic trance.)

Get some seeds and start growing them for outdoors NOW...I grew some 'Pakalolo' last year (Hawaiian skunk). When completely dried it was dank inside with resin, and crsipy with crystal on the outside. Don't belive the geeks that tell you that you must grow under lights for real gear. This was in 'cool temperate' climate as well.

that is absoultely disgusting. That kid has some severe mental issues. Why couldn't he just take an empty soda can, crinkle it a little bit so that one side is flat, poke a few holes in it and smoke off of that?

Well hey at least the head was going to be put to good use. I mean it could have been worse and used a different body part to make it. The head isnt the most disgusting. I guess I kind of find it funny. Go him, to bad we dont know how the bong would have turned out.

This guy is really messed up in the head I mean would you like it if someone dug up the grave of your grandmother or someone else you loved. Things like this make me try to understand what the hell is going on in peoples minds. Does anybody else think that this is just F'n crazy. PEACE AND LOVE TO ALL.

Apr 12 2005, 12:35 pm

I guess the kid couldnt find a headshop.

Apr 12 2005, 12:24 pm

Could someone be that stupid and gross ? How old was the head ?

And even if he did plan on making a bong (ashtry wouldnt have been as nasty)I'd hope it would be a display piece and not a useable piece.

Is it possiable that the chemicals used for embalming could have been absorbed into the skull ?

Apr 12 2005, 12:21 pm

that kid is seriously fucked. thats nasty, smoking out of a random persons skull. you could probably catch some weird sickness or something from that shit. you cant beat a glass bong with a nice fat bowl on it. i wonder why he wanted to smoke out of a skull, does anybody know.

Prior to the 1800s, CANNABIS/HEMPSEED oil was the NUMBER ONE source for lighting oil throughout the world. Until 1937-38, even paints and varnishes were 80 percent CANNABIS/HEMPSEED oil. CANNABIS/HEMP/MARIJUANA is non-toxic and has been used to make high-grade diesel fuel, oil, aircraft and precision oil and even the NUMBER ONE vegetable oil. The U.S. Army/Navy standards purchasing specifications list HEMP OIL as the NUMBER ONE preferred lubricant for their machinery. CANNABIS/HEMP is the best sustainable source of plant pulp for biomass fuel to make charcoal, gas, methanol, gasoline and electricity in a natural way.
In 1850, 80 percent of all paper, fiber, fuel, and oil was made out of CANNABIS/HEMP in America and the rest of the world. This was before the discovery of coal and petroleum for energy in the late 1850s...before the start of the worst permanent pollution ever experienced on Earth... fossil fuel pollution (coal and petroleum)
