No Leg Up In Legs Case

The unidentified legs found near Divernon are, well, still unidentified.
Investigators do not believe there is a link between the two severed legs found this week near Divernon and a torso discovered last summer in Missouri, the head of the Greater St. Louis Major Case Squad said Thursday.

"There is nothing to connect these two crimes whatsoever," said Maj. Robert Lowery. "We don't believe the two cases are connected, nor do we believe the legs that were found belonged to our victim."

All-terrain vehicle riders found one of the legs about 8 p.m. Monday in a wooded area near exit 80 off Interstate 55. When investigators returned to the area Tuesday, they found the second severed leg a short distance from the first.
But the SJ-R article doesn't totally disappoint! We get NEW gruesome details:
[Sangamon County Coroner Susan Boone] said it is difficult to tell where the legs were severed, but a thigh bone was exposed on one. The feet were attached to both legs.
Enjoy your breakfast.

When I wrote up my notes on this for my WMAY morning show, I listed this as "Legs Not Connected To Torso."

I am so going to hell.
