Los Angeles police detectives are investigating the slaying of a man believed to be of Armenian descent whose head was discovered Tuesday afternoon by two dogs off a hiking trail below the Hollywood sign. Two women were hiking with nine dogs in the rugged hills near the 3200 block of Canyon Drive when two of the dogs found a plastic bag in the brush containing the head... In addition to combing the area for evidence, investigators will seek help from the Los Angeles County coroner to identify the victim through dental records

Head in a bag, it’s left to be found, will be identified, and will send a message to, well, we don’t know who, but they will.

-——Two women were hiking with nine dogs-——

I betcha the two women think of themselves as pet parents....

IMHO one of the most bizarre cultural phemonenons to work it’s way into our lexicon

I love my pets....but I am not their parents.....I am their owner

[Revolting cat!]

In L.A. it’ll be solved soon if it’s a talking head.

Apparently it wasn’t a Glad bag.

Good business: professional dog walking.

Apparently it wasn’t a Glad bag.

Well it sure as hell ain't a happy sack.

The news reported that there was a note nailed to the head.

It said, I ain’t got nobody.

And, with that many dogs, these women could probably use an extra bag anyway.

In addition to combing the area for evidence

Head found in bag, police combing the area...

Not a pleasant word association.

“Lost: one Armenian guy. Salt and pepper hair. Slightly overweight. Possibly decapitated. Answers to ‘Lucky’.”

[dagogo redux]

Hell, how do they come to “believe” the guy is of Armenian descent if they don’t know who he was, and none of the rest of his body/belongings were found?

Hollywood? Head?

[FishinTX]

And they said it was hard to get a head these days.

there are some good comebacks on this thread. I think this one is at the head of the list. You bagged it!

[SunkenCiv]

They should check in the brush.

LOL!

Where's the body?
The other seven dogs were rolling on it while the women went to see what the first two found.

[SunkenCiv]

The first people at the scene reported that he was still alive. His last recorded statement was, "I can't feel my legs."
