'Beaten with leather straps, raped, and killed': Former students speak of horrors of now-defunct boys' reform school as up to 18 unmarked graves found on site

At first glance, a cemetery on the grounds of a former boys’ reform school is nothing more than what it appears, marking graves of former students who died during influenza outbreaks and fires with simple metal crosses. But now investigators believe that there may be more bodies near the site where 31 white crosses mark where bodies of students of the Florida School for Boys were laid to rest. Though the school was shuttered last year and a 2009 investigation cleared the school of any criminal wrongdoing with the 31 unidentified boys, the bodies of up to 50 other students have not been accounted for.
