Sulphur Springs, TX | A Texas meat packing plant is under investigation by local authorities as one of their employees is suspected of murdering a tragic 71 coworkers during his 17 years at the slaughterhouse, reports the Dallas Telegraph this morning.

Jeremiah Burroughs, age 57, has been formally accused of the murder of no less than 70 coworkers after the disappearance of 71 coworkers since 1998 had raised local authorities suspicions.

The discovery this week of human bones in a neighboring rendering plant which recycles slaughterhouse byproducts had raised the alarm and forced local authorities to crack down on potential suspects.

During 17 years, Jeremiah Burroughs is suspected of murdering a tragic 71 coworkers in the meat packing plant where he worked for over 22 years

Jeremiah Burroughs, who is a Gulf war veteran, is suspected of suffering from PTSD syndrome and of extreme paranoia, explains police officer Emet Rubbens.

“We have no idea why he committed these atrocious crimes, there seems to lack a motive. What is most distressing is how he got away with these atrocious crimes for such a long period of time. It seems he just processed his victims meat as he would’ve done with any other cow. His victims all disappeared somewhere in the meat packing process” he expressed with disgust.

“Just another guy”

“He was just a normal guy, like anybody else” admits coworker Adam Willfur. “I admit it’s strange he still lived alone with his mother, but he seemed to really enjoy his work. He’d rip off the skin of a carcass in a matter of seconds and would chop off its limbs in a flash. Whatever he did, he was a heck of a good worker, that’s all I’ve got to say about him” admitted another.

“It’s not an easy job, so we’re used to seeing people come in a few days and quit without notice” explains the meat packing plant manager, Alan Longspan. “Never did we realize that they had been murdered and processed as food” he told reporters, still visibly under shock.

Under current state law and if convicted, Burroughs could be sentenced to the capital punishment by the Texas Department of Criminal Justice (TDCJ), believe experts.

The authorities didn't notice that people were going missing? And that amazingly they all worked at the same place?

 Yeah.  It's hard to believe that many people missing from one company wouldn't raise an eyebrow.  Doesn't mean they would know right away who did it, but I'll bet there aren't that many people who have worked there that long.

 I bet a slaughterhouse gets a lot of migrant workers.

Does this mean people in DFW have been unwittingly eating human flesh for the last 17 years?!

 Oh for sure--but still 71 is a lot Not to raise a few eyebrows.  I wonder how they did put it all together if he had gotten bynthis long?

 SS's mom told us about this story.  They use bone to stabilize the baked goods.  Bread, muffins, things like that.  It lengthens the shelf life she told us.  I did not know this.  She also said they were mostly migrant workers that no one missed.

But. With no body....

My SS is very into crime shows. We have watched the FBI files. One thing we've learned is that if you want to go on killing for a longer period of time without anyone finding out then you pick a population most people won't miss. Prostitutes, strippers, homeless, migrant workers. If you murder your wife or best friend people are going to figure that out right away.

When the people came to pick up the bones they notice a human femur in it. That's how it was discovered. Of course, that's what SS's mom told us. So I can't state that for fact.

 I'd notice if one of my co-workers went missing.  That's more than 4 a year.

 This isn't some white collar office job where the co-workers have beer together.  There are many people who show up for a few days, find out how hard it is and never come back.  There are illegals that think immigration has their scent and disappear.  The turnover rate can exceed 100%.

 I know--but in 17 years no one missed any of them?  NONE of them had families?

 I'm sure some of them did - but if they were illegals, the families would not have gone to the cops.

 This.  SS's mom told us the story and I googled it and pasted here.  I actually didn't read the story.  lol  She said they were migrant workers and the turnover rate was a 100% like LL said.  Because they were mostly illegals they would work a few days or weeks and then be gone with no explanation.  No one looked for them.  Which would be like LL said.  If you're not supposed to be in this country already you are not going to the police. 

SS's mom knew about this because her chef place buys products from them.

This is why I am always suspicious of canned meats; cold cuts, sausage, etc... Never know just what goes into those things. I will stick with pieces of meat that, hopefully, I can identify as coming from a cow/hog/sheep/lamb/chicken....

I want to know what brands this place produces. Like ASAP. I want to know if I have eaten people or not and if so, I want to never eat that brand again.

Once it is processed, how would you know the difference without DNA testing?

 There should be checks and balances in place before it gets fully processed and ground up. In fact, I am 99% positive that there ARE some check points to look for foreign objects of ANY kind. Clearly this place isn't doing them.  When you are dealing with food, it's supposed to be very closely controlled. Did this place not have security cameras? Was there no one who saw him dragging a dead body into the wood chipper ? (For example)

 How did he get a key? Why isnt it locked up? The machinery is sanitized after it is used, there is no way he could have done that alone and had it all cleaned up and sanitized by himself in time. They screwed up!

I don't have all the answers.

But if you have already consumed human flesh, it's too late to change that.

 Of course it is. I just want to know the brands so I can avoid them because clearly they are lax in their food safety practices as well as their security. So I would like to avoid them in the future. It isn't rocket science.

It could be any number of brands. Many plants can for different brands, they stop the line only long enough to change the labels.

This is why I eat my own beef, and don't eat hamburger ANYWHERE else, ever.
Because you just never know.
I will make the occasional exception for a roast beef sandwich, but I imagine that is harder to fake.

 It is called co-packing. And I still want to know who they are.
