Patrick Dennehy, 21, was last seen alive June 12. His SUV was found June 25.

WACO, Texas (CNN) -- Authorities searching for missing Baylor University basketball player Patrick Dennehy have recovered a human head in the same area where they found a body last Friday, a source familiar with the forensics investigation told CNN Sunday.

...And the Deputy who found the head was heard to say:

"Funny, from the description, I thought That Dennehy was much taller"

I wonder if it is somehow related to that body they found there the other day?

[Conservababe]

Reading the title of the thread, I thought it was of the Davidians.

I wish their plight would have been as important as this missing basketball player.

[Hillary's Lovely Legs]

Good, they found the head. They needed the head. The head helps. Dotson said that he shot him in the head.

It makes the body taller.

[Jeff Chandler]

>>It makes the body taller.<<

Of course. Silly me!

[TexKat]

Dotson said that he shot him in the head.

I still think someone else is involved in this.

[TexKat]

Positive identification it is Patrick Donnehy per current press conference.

[Hillary's Lovely Legs]

See, the head came in handy.

Pray for his family.

Positive identification it is Patrick Donnehy per current press conference.

Confirmed by top of the hour CSB radio news.

Confirmed by top of the hour CSB radio news.

...or...perhaps I am hearing voices.

Sheriff Larry Lynch said they have positively ID'ed the body now as Patrick Dennehy. At the press conference he would not specify the evidence recovered today that assisted in the ID. No confirmation that it was the head.

Hmm, and there's a head in the picture. I wonder if it's the same one?

[B-Chan]

There's been a lot of weird stuff that has happened at Waco over the years. I've seen some of it myself. Then of course there's the Davidians... and now, this. That town has some bad juju.

There's a reason Waco is known as “Sodom-on-the-Brazos”.

I wish their plight would have been as important as this missing basketball player.

I am so glad to see someone post this. I was thiking the same thing.

[Jorge]

...and so the whole morbid story continues.
Wonder where the rest of the missing body parts will show up.

[nvatexan]

That's why it's called Wacky Waco!

[A. Goodwin]

Maybe I'm slow, but I don't get it -- is this a second head, or was the "body" headless when they found it? Seems like pretty sloppy reporting; a head strikes me as a major body part, so if I read "body found" I assume the head is included, otherwise it's a "headless body."
