The torsos of a man and woman, and later body parts believed to belong to the two, were found floating in Detroit-area waterways on Tuesday morning, the Detroit Free Press reported. "This was vicious," Commander Steve Dolunt of the Detroit Police Department told the paper. "It looks like they were sending a message. It’s not just a normal — if there is a normal — homicide.” A U.S. Coast Guard officer on border patrol responded to a call from a fisherman who had spotted a torso floating in Fox Creek, just off the Detroit River around 6 a.m., WDIV TV reported. The Coast Guard boat crew came across the second one as they were responding to the first. The Coast Guard handed the case over to the Detroit Police Homicide Unit, the Free Press reported, citing U.S. Coast Guard spokesman Lt. Justin Westmiller. The medical examiner was working to determine the identity of the victims and cause of death, said Detroit Police Department spokeswoman Christine Rozier. Several hours later, a man fishing in the Detroit River called police to report a gruesome discovery, which included a white leg with polished toenails, two other white legs and a cordless circular saw lying on the bottom of the river in about 3 feet of water where the river meets Lake St. Clair, the Detroit Free Press reported. The Detroit River flows from Lake St. Clair in the north to Lake Erie in the south, forming a part of the U.S.-Canada border with the densely populated cities of Detroit, Mich. on one side and Windsor, Ontario on the other. Homicide detectives and evidence collectors and swarmed the area, KSDK reported Tuesday afternoon. Investigators told KSDK that the woman's body has a distinctive tattoo, but would not describe it at this stage in the case." />Visit NBCNews.com for breaking news, world news, and news about the economy

Re: Body Parts Found in Michigan Lake
Who in their right mind throws away a perfectly good cordless circular saw?  |

Re: Body Parts Found in Michigan Lake
The police have a tattoo on the woman and won't release what it is. They could probably identify one or both right away! It must be me. I'm a simple minded person. |

Re: Body Parts Found in Michigan Lake
You may know this, but I live on Lake St. Clair about 5 miles from this. Had not heard anything about this! You are fast diamond. You are a news hound.

Re: Body Parts Found in Michigan Lake
It happens. I didn't know about the idiot pooing on a Filthydelphia/Killadelphia street! And it took an out of state person to tell me the name of a little bridge by PHL airport. I did not know where you live until now :) |

Re: Body Parts Found in Michigan Lake
The bodies of a man and a woman whose heads, hands and legs were cut off have been found. Fishermen led cameras to the discovery of two legs, one arm, a circular saw, a suitcase and bed sheets along the banks of the river. "Someone obviously had a bone to pick with these two people and wanted to send a message," said Detroit Police Commander Steven Dolunt. Police say the didn't know how long the bodies of the man and woman had been in the water.  ·  ·  · |

Re: Body Parts Found in Michigan Lake
I've gone down near that park and watched the freighters pass by. Too bad. We get a lot of murders in Detroit but this is over-the-top.
