BARSTOW, Calif. -- An investigation is under way after a human head of a woman was found inside a backpack in the San Bernardino County desert. Barstow police say a man collecting cans made the discovery last week in an area in close proximity to several truck stops and just west of a residential neighborhood in the unincorporated community of Lenwood.
Lenwood Road is a connecting route between I-15 and Ca State Hwy 58.
The head was that of a brown-haired woman, police said, adding that it was wrapped in plastic grocery bags with the store labels "Fiesta Foods" and "Walgreens."
Authorities are working to identify the remains.
DNA samples and X-rays have been sent to the state.
No identifiable scars, marks, tattoos or other distinguishing features were discovered.
Anyone with information is asked to call Detective Keith Libby at 760-255-5134. If any woman you know or meet has a missing head try to keep her in conversation or otherwise occupied until you can call the above phone number or render her unconscious and put her in a cab.
