Human heads theft 

The weird crime took place in Denver’s Central Park neighborhood on 23rd Avenue at 11 am. 

This is a residential family-oriented area. A dog park is within view of where the truck was parked at the time the human heads were hauled off.

A local 3-year resident, Isaac Fields, commented on the theft. Fields takes his dog, Margot, to the dog park almost every day. 

He said the situation was “pretty shocking.” 

“I guess I don’t see too many strange things happening around here usually, but you know you never know,” said Fields, who was walking his dog. “Wow! I would have been so terrified.”

Fields added that “Well, my wife actually does Ph.D. research at the University of Colorado Anschutz. So, cadavers are definitely utilized in certain situations. And I’m assuming that was probably the case.”

Denver Police say the case is still active. But no arrests have been made.

The police also ask that anybody having information that can lead to identifying any suspect(s) should contact Metro Denver Crime Stoppers (720) 913-STOP (7867).
