TUCSON - The man who was found dead on the side of roadway south of Marana this morning was decapitated, Pima County Sheriff's Department officials confirm, and the head was not found with the body.At about 10:55 a.m. this morning, Pima County Sheriff's Department deputies responded to the 2300 block of North Reservation Road and West Mile Wide Road to find a deceased adult male with obvious signs of trauma on the west side of the roadway, a release from the department states.
Officials say that in addition to the decapitation, there were other signs of trauma, and evidence at the scene showed the body had not been there for longer than 24 hours.
The call came from Customs and Border protection agents, who were alerted to the body by Bureau of Land Management workers.
UPDATE INFO
There is more on this case,the police say the hands and feet were also removed from the body of this male and they are asking for help from the public. This does cast a different angle on this case, I am not sure if the (drug cartel) would bother to remove the feet and hands of one of their victims. However if one of their victims had strong local ties (the cartel might do this).
