"Search near Colfax after leg found," The Sacramento Bee, April 3, 2000, pg 14.
"The leg was found by someone walking along Bunch Creek, about 1 1/2 miles south of Yankee Jims Road [and Canyon Road].
"More tests will be done on leg found in Placer," The Sacramento Bee, April 4, 2000, pg 18.
"Toxicological and DNA tests [will] be performed."
"It was lodged against some rocks in the middle of the stream"
Randolph, Rick "Severed leg recovered by deputies," The Press-Tribune, April 5, 2000, pg 9.
"the leg was severed up near mid-thigh"
"it belonged to an adult or a large teenager"
"The leg had been sawed off by something metal as opposed to being gnawed or ripped off."
"The leg was found near an often used portion of the road right out in the middle of the creek...it was unclear weather the leg had been dropped in at the spot or been brought down by the water from upstream."
