Children discovered human remains in a suitcase along a rural Ohio road. Federal authorities report that a man dismembered his father's body and concealed the remains in two suitcases, which he abandoned on rural roads.
The discovery occurred when the children were playing in wooded areas. Investigators identified the victim and determined that his son committed the dismemberment and disposal. The case demonstrates how outdoor activities by young people sometimes lead to the discovery of serious crimes.
Federal authorities took jurisdiction of the investigation. The circumstances surrounding the father's death and the son's motive remain under investigation by law enforcement officials.
