BABYLON, N.Y. (AP) — A girl walking to school Thursday morning on Long Island found a severed arm on the side of the road, and then police searching the area uncovered a disembodied leg buried under a pile of leaves nearby, authorities said.
Suffolk County Police said the girl spotted the arm along a road near the popular Southards Pond Park in Babylon and called her father, who then dialed 911.
Authorities began to search around the park, and a police dog eventually found a severed leg sticking out of leaves on the other side of the park.
It’s unclear if the body parts belonged to a man or a woman, police said.
