Austin Police ID Dismembered Human Remains Found At Bike Trails 2 Weeks Ago

AUSTIN, TX — Police on Monday identified the dismembered body found two weeks ago in advanced stages of decomposition at the Walnut Creek bicycles trails.

The remains found at Old Manor Road last month were identified as Robert "Bobby" Sepeda, police said. As it happens, the positive ID comes on the day Sepeda would have turned 68 years old, according to the date of birth information police provided.

A leg and foot were found on July 31 at Daffan Lane and Johnny Morris Road after police received a call by some bicyclists using the trails who came across the body parts that Monday morning. Securing a cadaver dog to assist in the crime scene, police located the rest of the body off Old Manor Road two days later.

Sepeda is known to police, given a past booking photo provided to media outlets. A plea for information from the public as to his last known whereabouts prior to his death suggests he may have been itinerant or homeless, although police didn't specify that.

The Austin Police Department is asking anyone with information about Sepeda and the case in general to call them at 512-477-3588 or Crime Stoppers at 512-472-TIPS or text "Tip 103" + your message to CRIMES or use the new Crime Stoppers App. Those with information also can submit tips by downloading APD’s mobile app, Austin PD, for free on iPhoneand Android.
