The case has led
police to start a nationwide review of missing persons cases to
identify potential victims.
"We don't know yet if the dismembered arms and legs are from the
same person," said Officer David Hartman, spokesman for the New
Haven Police.
A homeless man found the severed legs in an overgrown area near
the State Street Railroad station on Wednesday morning, and
police cadaver dogs found a plastic bag containing the arms,
both without hands, several hours later.
Hartman said New Haven police and officials for Metro North and
Amtrak determined on Thursday the severed limbs could not have
resulted from a train accident.
