Witnesses say the legs were found between State Street itself and the train tracks in some bushes. In those bushes is a chain link fence to prevent people and animals from getting down to the train tracks. Near that fence is where the bottom part of two human legs were found, startling Pablo Rivera and his friend on Monday.
“He started screaming, ‘hey, come here, I think I found something, two human legs, come here, I want to make sure it is real,'” Rivera said.
He alerted police on Monday, but officials couldn’t find anything.
“The officers called it in. They had the fire department respond as well,” said Hartman. “I don’t know what tools were used, but if you didn’t know what you were looking for and you didn’t have someone there to point out where they were talking about, it would be almost a futile search.”
Rivera went back to the police with pictures on Wednesday.
