A former Seattle resident is accused of dumping human body parts in remote Arizona.
According to the Yavapai Sheriff’s Office, 59-year-old Walter Mitchell moved to Scottsdale earlier this year. He ran a company called Future Gen X, which managed cadavers for medical research.
On Dec. 26, 2020, around 20 human limbs were discovered near Prescott, Ariz. The next day, a hunter found two human heads.
“Deputies arrived and confirmed what he had seen, and a follow-up search revealed three more human heads,” a representative from the Yavapai Sheriff’s Office told KIRO Radio.
