“This is still an active and ongoing investigation,” Wendy Likes, a spokeswoman for the local police, said, the New York Post reported. “So there are no other details that can be released … but as soon as we have information, we will put it out there.”
“We want to make sure that someone doesn’t find out their loved one has passed away through rumors and innuendo,” Likes reportedly added.
There are other stories in the United States of people finding body parts in strange places. Texan police, for instance, allegedly found the remains of a woman in “copious amounts of plastic wrap” inside a refrigerator at the home of her boyfriend during a search back in Nov. 12, NBC News reported. Three suitcases were allegedly found by Florida law enforcement in July apparently holding the remains of a female human, according to Fox35 Orlando.
