It is a crazy story.

Not to be picky, but the body was a white woman, not a man.

[aj1020]

The story says it was a man:

"Police said they were able to determine it was a white man, who was wearing only underwear."

Also, maybe this thread should be in the Unidentified forum? Just a thought.

[Rino]

The story says man but the video says "related story" its a woman. Same location. Maybe more than one victim of the same sickos...

[MagicRose99]

I think they're all confused! The "related link" (which is the first story), states it was a woman's body... this print article states it's a man's body... at this point... who knows?!?!?

[LisainWV]

Lord, I'm glad to see others saw "woman" too. I was really worried about myself. They do have it screwed up, don't they?

When you are a baby in the hospital they can tell sex by simply looking at your feet . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .and seeing either blue booties or pink ones- lol.

Evidently without that advanced medical breakthrough they can't tell one way or the other for an adult if you lose your head.

The reporters most likely were all jockeying for information to get out and screwed it up in their haste.

[SadieMae]

Wonder if the person is a transexual?

Hi All

It is in fact a woman's body. Not sure why the media is so confused in earlier articles. I live in the Metropolitan area and this has been on all of the media stations.

We did have a man decapitated a week or two ago, so maybe that's why they were confused.

could it be some sort of cult? These reporters kill me with the whole " they're calling it a homicide" no kidding, these people didn't do it to themselves.

DETROIT -- The Wayne County Sheriff’s Department is investigating the discovery of a decapitated woman’s body found inside a manhole on Monday morning.

The Wayne County Water Department told Local 4 they found the headless body in a manhole in an alley near Kercheval and Montclair streets on Detroit’s eastside.

The water department said it was called to the area to investigate reports of backed up sewage.

-in her 30s
-about 5 feet 5 inches tall
-about 120 pounds.
-recent stitches on the upper left side of her stomach
-a tattoo on her left arm.
-her head, hands and feet cut off.

This says she was white.

An outdated link quoted here as saying she was clad in underwear and had possibly been in the manhole for about a week.

I can't find a DN or a Namus link.

says it was still a mystery two weeks after the find.
The place was in an alley behind the Rising Saints God in Christ Church near Kercheval and Montclair

Residents complained for days about an odor and investigators believe the body , clad only in
underpants, was there for more than a week. Investigators now believe the victim was not killed or cut at the site. There was no blood found nearby.

Question what was the tattoo of?
