Jesse Truesdale of Bonner Springs, Kansas' The Chieftain reports that the investigation of a recent grave robbery in Kansas, where a sheet of SLIPKNOT lyrics was left at the scene, continues.

The ashes of Justin Manning and the urn containing them were stolen from his grave last week. Manning, 17, of Winchester, Kan., died July 25 in a car accident on Interstate 70. The theft was discovered on August 15, along with a note with the lyrics to SLIPKNOT's song "Surfacing", from their 1999 self-titled album.

Detectives on the case are pursuing "multiple leads and interviewing people of interest," Bonner Springs Police Lt. Rick Schubert said.

Since receiving documentation from Manning's family, the charges for the case have been upgraded from criminal desecration of a grave to include the additional charge of felony theft, because the value of the urn and the cost of cremation were more than $1,000.

Manning's mother Angela Bickham said there had been trouble at his funeral, when some of his friends wanted to bury some CDs and a hat with his ashes.

The cemetery sexton who discovered the dug-up grave said there had also been "two or three" other notes lying around the gravesite, but they had blown away in the wind by the time police arrived.

Several days earlier, ropes tied as nooses had also been found at the gravesite.
