DELHI TWP. - Police were relying on fingerprint records Thursday to identify the man whose body was found decapitated in a Lexus SUV parked in the driveway of a Delhi Township home.
Ingham County Sheriff's deputies on Wednesday responded to the home at 2485 Houghton Hollow Drive, after getting a call that a man who lived there had not shown up for work since Monday.
Ingham County sheriff's Lt. Jeff Joy described the homicide scene as bizarre.
"It's something in my 24-year career in law enforcement I've seen only one other time," he said.
On Thursday, police would identify the victim only as a man of Vietnamese descent in his 20s.
At a Thursday news conference, Ingham County Sheriff Gene Wriggelsworth said investigators believe he was the victim of a targeted killing.
"A crime of this nature is not random," Wriggelsworth said. He would not go into further specifics about the condition of the body, and investigators still are trying to determine how long it was there.
No one was at the home when police found the body; it was not clear if the man lived there. The home is located in Houghton Hollow Estates. Police originally misidentified the name of the subdivision.
On Thursday, officials from the Toyota Technical Center in Ann Arbor confirmed that they reported one of their employees missing. Police said they don't know for sure if the dead man is the missing employee.
"He didn't show up Tuesday. We thought that was unusual behavior and called police," said Bruce Brownlee, a general manager at the research and development center.
Police have not been able to contact the homeowners, who they believe are out of town.
SUVs are evil. Now they're decapitating people.
I gotta pay closer attention to local news. This is the first I heard about this.
Michigan State's football coach?
These SUV's are now committing random acts of be-heading.
Was there a note pinned to his chest.... ?
On a side note, the liberals are hoping he'll still speak at a young rats convention in Lansing.

Really. First, exploding tires; now decapitation.

You know you are a FReepaholic when you get your local news from an internet forum.

Hi Fierce!
If it was Arkansas, the cause of death would be ruled suicide.
At a Thursday news conference, Ingham County Sheriff Gene Wriggelsworth said investigators believe he was the victim of a targeted killing.
Gee, ya think?
Bush's fault?
