Suitcase Stuffed With Dismembered Body Found in San Francisco
Yesterday afternoon, San Francisco police discovered a suitcase containing dismembered human remains. Not long after, more body parts were found scattered nearby.
Police received a call just after 4 p.m. local time about a suspicious package in the South of Market area. Amid piles of trash, responding officers found a roller-type suitcase inside of which were the "dismembered body parts of a human being," police spokeswoman Officer Grace Gatpandan told the San Francisco Chronicle. KGO reports the bag contained a human torso. A search of the area turned up more body parts.
According to Gatpandan, the race and sex of the victim isn't yet known. "Investigators are still searching to determine if there are any other body parts in the area," she told the Chronicle. "This was an extremely gruesome crime scene."
Gatpandan also said homicide detectives have identified a suspect. "We do have people of interest that homicide investigators are speaking to, as well as using surveillance cameras," she said, according to KGO.
