Houston police say three teens admitted digging up a child's corpse, removing the skull and using it to smoke marijuana.
"They cut the jaw off of it and wrapped it in electrical tape and used it to make a bong," Officer Jim Adkins tells KRIV-TV. The local Fox affiliate has a photo gallery associated with the case.
Because of flooding at the Humble cemetery, police say they have been unable to confirm that the body is no longer intact.
"The grave was uncovered, and the headstone had been thrown off the grave and broken," Adkins tells the Houston Chronicle.
KHOU-TV says investigators have yet to find the skull, nor have they been able to find anyone related to Willie Simms, an 11-year-old boy who died in 1921.
Three teens face charges of abusing a corpse. Police say they're looking for a fourth suspect.
