Searching for Body Parts in Bronson Canyon: Day Two
Investigators and search dogs combed Bronson Canyon today, finding a pair of hands and a pair of feet near the site of yesterday's discovery of a severed head. According to a friend who tried to walk his dogs there this morning, Bronson Canyon Park--which includes the former quarry (aka "Bat Cave") and trails leading to the Hollywood Sign--was closed to the public.
Police believe the murder was committed elsewhere and will use dental records to identify the victim. According to LAPD Cmdr. Andy Smith, "There's no other evidence that this is anything besides a single, individual isolated occurrence."
It would be sad if Bronson Canyon became known for this macabre event. A a regular visitor, I intend to return for a hike as soon as I can. I hope others will do the same.
