Toddler's dismembered body parts found in Chicago park lagoon
Associated Press in Chicago
Monday 7 September 2015 13.48 BST
Detectives investigating a lagoon at a Chicago park where dismembered body parts of a young child were discovered waded through cattail reeds and waist-high water on Sunday, hoping to find more clues about the victim’s identity.
A dog with a K-9 unit sniffed though shrubbery, branches and boulders on the edge of Garfield Park on the city’s west side, while investigators felt the muddy lagoon bottom with their hands.
The search began on Saturday afternoon after someone reported seeing what turned out to be a left foot floating in the lagoon. Officers later found a decomposed right foot and a hand about 25 yards away, police spokesman Anthony Guglielmi said.
Police said on Sunday night that officers had recovered additional body parts from the park and categorized the case as a death investigation. The department declined to release any further details about the later discoveries.
