Are religious rituals linked to recent grisly findings?

Red candles illuminated the path to a frightening scene in a Madison Avenue basement near Bridgeport's Columbus School. There, a freshly butchered chicken's blood dripped into a bowl. The skull of an alligator sat atop a human skull on a goat's head. There were animal horns, colorful beads and strange writings.

But that June 9 discovery by Bridgeport police's Tactical Narcotics Team was only the beginning.
