OAKLAND \u2014 The dismembered lower extremities of a person were discovered in the Fruitvale district Sunday morning and police are trying to determine if they are linked to other human remains found Feb. 1 about four miles away, authorities said.<\/p>\n
An autopsy and other tests are being conducted on the remains found Sunday to determine the sex, a cause of death and if they are linked to the body parts found earlier this month.<\/p>\n
The two lower limbs were found about 1 a.m. Sunday in a bushy area on the 1700 block of 37th Avenue by someone who lives in the neighborhood, authorities said.<\/p>\n
They were in a state of decomposition and authorities believe they had been there for several days.<\/p>\n
Different dismembered remains were found Feb. 1 and that case is being investigated as a homicide, although it is unclear how the person died.<\/p>\n
Authorities have not said exactly what parts of the body they were and it has not been determined if they are of a man or woman.<\/p>\n
Those remains were found about 10:06 a.m. Feb. 1 near some railroad tracks in the 9700 block of San Leandro Street, not far from 98th Avenue.<\/p>\n
Investigators said they believe the remains had been there for several days and that they were brought to the site from somewhere else.<\/p>\n
No other information has been released about that discovery.<\/p>\n
Anyone with information about either discovery may call homicide investigators at 510-238-3821 or 510-238-7950. Anyone with video or other images that might assist in the investigation may email them to cidvideo@oaklandca.gov.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"OAKLAND \u2014 The dismembered lower extremities of a person were discovered in the Fruitvale district Sunday morning and…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":82880,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[34],"tags":[389,184,861,7,8,138,332,1529,9858,134,181,23,100,143,145,144,385],"class_list":{"0":"post-183547","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-oakland","8":"tag-alameda-county","9":"tag-bay-area","10":"tag-bay-area-crime","11":"tag-california","12":"tag-california-news","13":"tag-crime-and-public-safety","14":"tag-east-bay","15":"tag-east-bay-crime","16":"tag-east-oakland","17":"tag-homicide","18":"tag-latest-headlines","19":"tag-local-news","20":"tag-news","21":"tag-oakland","22":"tag-oakland-headlines","23":"tag-oakland-news","24":"tag-regional"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/183547","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=183547"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/183547\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/82880"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=183547"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=183547"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=183547"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
