Decomposed Human Head Found By St. Pete Jogger: Police

ST. PETERSBURG, FL — A decomposed human head was seen by a jogger on 38th Avenue South near 31st Street South by the Interstate 275 overpass on Tuesday morning, said St. Petersburg police.

Investigators are searching the nearby wooded area for more of the remains. Police said this is a street that is not heavily traveled because it is surrounded by woods, and the businesses along the street are closed. It is used as a traffic cut-through for people coming through the neighborhoods.

"The head is too badly decomposed to determine sex," said Yolanda Fernandez. "But it is a decomposing head, it's not like a skeleton. So our detectives feel like the person didn't die there, so they're going into the woods to see if they can find any other remains."

Police are asking people in the area if they saw anything that could help them establish a timeline of when and how this human head got there.

The jogger, who runs this route almost every day, told police that when she ran on Sunday she didn't see the head, and she didn't run yesterday.

If you have any information that can help police, call the St. Petersburg Police Department non-emergency number at 727-893-7780.
