Bags Of Body Parts Found Twice In Single Week In The Bronx

THE BRONX, NY — Police are investigating links between bags of body parts found in the Bronx within the last week, an NYPD spokeswoman said. The gruesome discoveries were made four days and about two and a half miles apart, according to the NYPD.

Cops found feet in a bag near Barretto Point Park in Hunts Point on Tuesday evening. A passerby report remains to police around 7:20 p.m., the NYPD spokeswoman said.

Police are investigating whether there are more body parts in two other bags found at the scene, the spokeswoman said.

The grisly find came just days after a head and a torso were found about 2.4 miles north on Crotona Park South between Franklin and Clinton avenues, the NYPD said. The suspicious packages were discovered by Parks Department workers and reported around 2 p.m. Friday, police said.

Those remains are believed to belong to an unidentified woman, the NYPD spokeswoman said.

The medical examiner still has to inspect the remains, the spokeswoman said. Police have not definitively confirmed a link between the two findings.
