Three years after a human head was found wrapped in a plastic bag in a Louisiana swamp, authorities have identified the victim as a missing Texas woman.
In March 2018, members of a litter abatement team cleaning up a marshy area off Highway 27 in Cameron Parish made the startling discovery.
A severed human head found inside a plastic bag in a Louisiana swamp three years ago was identified as the remains of a woman from San Antonio, Texas who was reported missing in 2017, several local news outlets reported. Cameron Parish Sheriff Ron Johnson confirmed that the head first discovered by a litter abatement team working in the tall, swampy grass alongside Louisiana Highway 27 in March 2018 was identified as belonging to 58-year-old Sally Ann Hines.
