Torso found during Connecticut probe into severed arms, legs

NEW HAVEN, Conn. (AP) — Police in Connecticut say they’ve found a human torso in an abandoned building two weeks after discovering a pair of severed arms and legs elsewhere in New Haven.

State and local police, using cadaver dogs, began searching two buildings that share a parking lot after receiving a tip Wednesday.

Officer David Hartman says the torso was found Thursday hidden inside one of the buildings, which is known as a place the homeless use for shelter. The remains have not been identified.

Police discovered legs and arms at separate locations July 15.
