CODY, Wyo. — The Park County Sheriff's Department is working to identify a headless, "severely mutilated" body found in a remote area outside Powell on Thursday.

Park County Sheriff Scott Steward said the man's body was found at about noon on Thursday by a man hunting ducks with his son. Investigators haven't found the man's head.

Steward said the victim also was missing an arm. He said investigators are trying to identify the man.

Very distressing situation
I feel also for the man & son who found the body.
Looks as though who ever did this doesn't want the person identified.
Wonder if the missing arm had a tattoo on it that was very recognizable and identifiable.

Is there any chance this could be Mike Plain Bull?

It's about 2 hours away, which trust me, in MT and WY is like next door lol. The clothing doesn't quite match up, and Mike's been missing for about a month, and this body is only a few days old, according to the police. I'd say the cold would preserve a body well, but no animal activity makes me believe it hasn't been in the elements very long.

From the description, I don't think so. This person/body had a very distinctive belt/belt buckle that suggests rodeo. The mutilation of the body seems like a gang hit/execution.

Where we used to live in South Dakota, it was a 125 mile trip, one way, to the Wal-Mart for grocery shopping. They have changed the body type on this person to say 'stocky' and Mike was thinner. From what I am reading on tribal social media, there are several possibilities.

“There are several other injuries that I cannot go in to,” he said. “No animal activity was evident on the body.”

Law enforcement personnel, including agents from the DCI, are processing the scene for evidence.

“Given the condition of the body, whoever did this does not want us to identify the body,” Sheriff’s office public information officer Lance Mathess said.

The exact cause and time of death is pending an autopsy, scheduled for Saturday.

“My guess is the person has been dead for 3-4 days, based on my experience,” Steward said.

I note that though it's described as "braided," it's actually a stitched greek-key type of design.

They took his head & arm yet leave the belt.
