Officers find body with no head, no hands in Wilkesboro woods

WILKESBORO, N.C. — Police came upon a horrific scene last Thursday while searching the woods near Mountain View Apartments, according to an incident report.

At about 7:21 p.m., a resident at Mountain View Apartment reported that he saw a tent in the woods near the complex and wanted an office to take a look.

Two officers went into the woods to look for the tent, heading in from several different areas due to the thick underbush.

When the officers went into the woods from the southeast, near a cellphone tower on Winker Mill Road, they came across a body.

Police report that there was no head or hands.

The body had a green jacket, khaki pants and brown boots on.

GPS coordinates place the body at the woods behind a Lowes Foods of Wilkesboro and Big Lots.

Wilkesboro Police Chief Craig Garris said they have no reason to believe criminal activity was involved in the death.

Investigators have not found any gunshot or stab wounds, or defensive wounds on the body, Garris said. Instead, he believes that scavenging animals are responsible for removing the body parts."

Police are currently looking to identify the body.

Really? No head or hands? Animals? You gotta be kidding me. In all my years in law enforcement I've never heard of a case where an animal ate the head off a body and didn't eat the soft tissue of the chest cavity. You know, the guts, heart, stomach, etc.

Next they'll claim it was a suicide.

When I was a police officer, I actually worked on a cold case, an old homicide of a headless handless body dumped on a roadside, and it certainly wasn’t a passing animal, although it was a human animal for sure. I did have a case of an elderly hiker that died on the hike and we didn’t locate his remains for several months...there was obvious animal activity in that case.

Without seeing the evidence it's hard to make a judgement....Further, this just might be a story to plant in the media, with the dept. looking elsewhere...

When I read no appendages, I think 1. Sending a message 2. removing potential evidence / DNA

I chuckled over that. Did he cut his hands off first? No, because then he didn't have a way to cut off his head. Did he cut his head off first? No, because he wouldn't have been able to see where to cut his hands. If he did the hands by the braille system and cut one off, how would he have cut off the second hand?

But never fear, that wonderful police department is all over this one.

Sounds like domestic dogs rather than ravenous wild beasts. Someone has a surprise coming while they're working in the flower bed.

We always claimed it was mice with matches in unknown fires but never have I heard of mice with chainsaws or raccoons with hacksaws

The police have announced the capture of a "person of interest" and have given him a polygraph.....

Results will be announced tomorrow at a press conference with the FBI and PETA.
