The archdiocese, one of the largest and most influential in the U.S., handed over last week more than 6,000 pages of documents to victims’ attorneys, who said they will show the archdiocese concealed abuse for decades, including moving priests to new parishes where they molested again.

A shipment of 18 human heads, still covered in skin, was held at Chicago O’Hare International Airport by U.S. Customs and Border Patrol. Customs officials halted the heads for investigation before handing them over to the Cook County Medical Examiner’s office. “We are involved because they can’t store them any longer,” Tony Brucci, chief of investigations at the medical examiner’s office told ABC News. “We’ll be examining the heads in the autopsy room today, but there is no foul play suspected in the collection of the heads.”
