This happened to a buddy of mine. It was in the winter, his dog was playing with something that looked like a ball. He went to see what it was a he hadn't given the dog a ball.

It turned out to be a decapitated human head. State police and FBI show up. Turns out it was a mob hit from one state over. They had been collecting his body parts all along the highway my buddy lived near. Head was key as they could finally ID the body thru dental records.

I remember this! I was the head. Your buddies dog was the goodest boy. 11/10.

Is the article in the screenshot about your buddy or is this a "two nickels" situation?

EDIT: Might I ask the reason behind the downvotes?

Well merged references there.
