DETROIT (AP) — The U.S. Coast Guard says the bodies of a man and a woman whose heads, hands and feet were cut off have been found floating in the Detroit River and a nearby tributary.

Coast Guard Lt. Justin Westmiller tells the Detroit Free Press that a U.S. Customs and Border Patrol officer on routine patrol in a vehicle on the shore spotted the first body in Fox Creek around 6:30 a.m. today. The second body was spotted about 7:15 a.m. in the Detroit River.

Westmiller says the bodies’ hands, feet and heads “were clearly cut off.”

He didn’t know how long the bodies of the man and woman had been in the water. Detroit police are handling the investigation.
