VIDEO: A jogger in St Petersburg, Florida, found a decomposing human head by the side of the road
According to the police, a woman out
for a run in St. Petersburg, Florida, came across a decomposing human head on
the side of the road on Tuesday.
The St. Petersburg Police Department
is currently going through missing persons files but say identifying the
remains are difficult without knowing the deceased person's age or gender.
However, homicide detectives are searching a
wooded area near the intersection of 38th Avenue South and 31st Street South,
while police are asking for the public's help.
We've had a few tips come in and we're
tracking them down.
Due to the state of the remains,
police have not been able to ascertain the age, gender, or ethnicity of the
deceased individual.
The police believe the incident has
taken place in the last 48 hours, as the jogger told them that she ran the same
area on Sunday and did not see anything unusual.
