( Phoenix ) US Attorneys in the 4 corner states are in the midst of an amnesty program for artifact looters. People who have stolen artifacts from Indian reservations have until August to give them back. But as KJZZ's Mark Brodie reports, very few items have been returned so far in Arizona....or anywhere else.
