Search turns up more body parts, no head

WAHSATCH - Searchers in Summit County on Wednesday found more body parts matching those discovered earlier near the Wyoming border.

But Summit County sheriff's Chief Deputy Dave Booth said detectives have yet to find the head formerly attached to the body strewn along a frontage road.

"It's the head we're really interested in right now," he said.

Booth said the Utah State Medical Examiner's Office determined body parts found Monday and Tuesday belong to an adult male, who was 6 feet tall with dark hair, but the office didn't have any more information about the person's identity.

The mystery began Monday when a Union Pacific Railroad employee checking on some tracks near the interstate found what appeared to be a body part. Investigators confirmed it was a human hand and began searching the area.

A headless, limbless torso, other body parts and pieces of clothing were found Tuesday. Booth said all the body parts appear to have been sawed off. All the bones have been discovered with some skin on them.

On foot and all-terrain vehicles, orange-clad deputies from the Summit County Sheriff's Office searched through snow-covered sagebrush Wednesday. They were assisted by searchers from the Utah Highway Patrol, the U.S. Forest Service and Duchesne County Sheriff's Office, which provided two cadaver dogs and handlers.

The search was focused on a frontage road along Interstate 80's westbound lanes, about one mile from the Wyoming line.

Booth said authorities have closed a 7-mile stretch of the frontage road, including the 5-mile stretch separating the locations where the hand and torso were found.

"It appears they've been just randomly thrown out there," Booth said. "There appears to have been no attempt to bury them."

The only body parts found intact were two hands, Booth said.

Booth said about 20 to 25 officers participated in Wednesday's search, and the sheriff's office plans to continue searching through Saturday.

No need to get all dis-jointed, cuttin' up on people like that isn't nice.

I was just trying to express my disarming sense of humor. If I came across as a hack, I'm sorry. I'd give my left arm for your pardon. If you'd lend me your ear for just a little while I'm sure I could win over your heart and mind, even though I do admit, I was acting kind of like a heel earlier.

Talk about the caffein not kicking in yet. My first thought was, "how the Hell did they know he had dark hair if they haven't found his head yet."

Then I remembered the "natural blonde" vs. "bottle blonde" test ...
