Police in San Francisco made an utterly horrifying discovery on Wednesday afternoon when they were called to investigate a suspicious package in the South of Market area. They found a suitcase filled with dismembered body parts on 11th Street between Market and Mission streets, and more human remains scattered over a three-block radius. The roller-type suitcase was surrounded by garbage and debris, but authorities wouldn’t describe where the other remains were found. According to the L.A. Times, police don’t know if all of the remains belong to one person, but they have identified a suspect. The San Francisco Chronicle notes, “the case is being treated as a homicide,” which is probably a safe bet.
