VIRGINIA BEACH — For the third time this month, a suitcase holding human remains has been found, this one floating near the Chesapeake Bay Bridge-Tunnel.

The remains were sent to the State Medical Examiner’s office in Norfolk for examination and police said Sunday night that they believe they are related to those recovered earlier.

Don Rimer , a police spokesman, said the latest discovery came just before noon Sunday when a recreational boater alerted police that he had found a suitcase floating off the second island of the bridge-tunnel.

I thought it said e-Bay.

Police are investigating the case as a homicide.

Those cops are sure sharp to make this assessment.

[GoLightly]

Don't know how they ever ruled out natural causes so quickly.

Police are investigating the case as a homicide.

If you ever find my body chopped up into little pieces, stuffed into a suitcase and dumped into a lake, don't believe the suicide note.

[Amntn]

The last line of the article reads:

"Police are investigating the case as a homicide."

[thoughtomator]

How many Kennedys have been questioned so far in the investigation?

I don't know what's worse, finding a suitcase full of body parts or knowing this was the THIRD ONE THIS MONTH!!

LOL! If this had happened in Arkansas during Clinton's term as Governor, it would have been ruled suicide!

[Joe 6-pack]

"...and police said Sunday night that they believe they are related to those recovered earlier."

I guess, "...police believe the finds are not connected to one another..." would have been a hard sell on this one.

[Still Thinking]

Two more suitcases and the boater and his assistant Igor can complete their lastest model.

Carrion Luggage.

LMAO!

[Chewbacca]

Jimmy Hoffa?

[gundog]

OUCH!

[Gunner Mike]

LOL! If this had happened in Arkansas during Clinton's term as Governor, it would have been ruled suicide!

The suitcase of bodyparts would have dismissed in Arkansas as catfish bait.

It's clearly time for strict suitcase control. Perhaps an outright ban ....

[Lady Jag]

Tijeras_Slim, "Carrion Luggage."

We have a winner!

[Betteboop]

I told my husband that whatever he catches, out fishing on the boat, throw it back--I don't want to have to deal with the remains until trash day. This would be ridiculous!!

[bmwcyle]

A Clinton leftover, it takes time to float south.

[Calvin Locke]

Kennedys!? It would be more expeditious to question Arlen Specter and some of his former clients.

[Publius6961]

Ever tried to zip yourself into a suitcase?

We must close the Department Store LOOPHOLE! For the Children.

I just gave you a standing ovation.

The cat thinks I'm crazy.

MoJo ping........

[babaloo]

Fabulous! Note to self: No matter how curious DO NOT open unattended luggage EVER!

[MineralMan]

"Carrion Luggage."

I nominate this as the pun of the month! Brilliant!

[GoLightly]

Yabutt, it didn't say a *whole* body was in the suitcase. If ya leave a hand outside, I'm pretty sure you'd be able to zip the rest of yourself in.

[GoLightly]

Gives a whole new meaning to the question everyone is asked at the airport. "Are you carrying anything you didn't pack yourself?"

[exile]

Lets give him a hand (rimshot)

[novacation]

Clever

[joesnuffy]

I dont think you can keep it unless no one else claims it for a year or so..

[NutCrackerBoy]

I think this was a stow-away plot gone awry.

[gargoyle]

...Sharp all right. They've served for years under Mayor Obendwarf...

...I live in the area, the last place I want to be, other than work, is at the beach, never mind the ocean...

[StriperSniper]

Shark chum for the upcoming Mako run. ;-)

[tracer]

So did I. I bid $15 and got ripped off.... 8~)

[NautiNurse]

ROFLMAO--too funny!

[katana]

Ever tried to zip yourself into a suitcase?

I refuse to answer on the grounds that it might make me look stupid.

Perhaps some mortuary was having problems stoking its reduction-to-ashes furnace.

[Mad_Tom_Rackham]

[On Tuesday , a graduate student who was bird watching spotted a suitcase on the shores of Fishermans Island, off the Eastern Shore, just before noon and opened it. She found plastic bags containing body parts, reportedly including a human head....

Police are investigating the case as a homicide.]

Either that or one of the worst cases of suicide on record. :O)

I thought Virginia was for lovers!
