Sacramento Police
Department officers on Wednesday responded to the 2900 block of
Connie Drive after receiving reports of a woman walking down the
street with the skull.
When stopped by police, the woman led them to a nearby abandoned
homeless camp where she found the skull. Police soon discovered
a decomposed body in the vacant lot, they said.
"Detectives have not released the name of the woman who was in
possession of the skull and she has not been charged with
anything at this time," the police department said in a
statement.
"Foul play has not been determined, therefore we are awaiting
the Sacramento County Coroner's report for further information."
The coroner's report is expected to be released next week.
