A U.S. Customs and Border Patrol officer was on routine patrol in a vehicle onshore at about 6:30 a.m. when the first body was spotted in Fox Creek, just off the Detroit River, U.S. Coast Guard Lt. Justin Westmiller told the Free Press. The body was floating near an abandoned park on the city’s east side.
The second body was spotted shortly after, about 7:15 a.m., nearby in the Detroit River, Westmiller said.
“Both bodies were found without hands, feet or heads. They were clearly cut off.”
