RUSSELLVILLE, Ala. (AP) - Authorities in northwest Alabama are
investigating the discovery of a child's severed foot in a
subdivision.
Russellville Police Chief Chris Hargett said officers were
called to a home around midnight Saturday after a resident found
what appeared to be a human foot that had been dragged up by a dog.
Hargett said an orthopedic surgeon confirmed that the foot
belonged to a child.
Teams using dogs weren't able to find additional remains during
a daylong search on Sunday. Authorities plan to resume the search
Tuesday in hopes that any scent from decomposing remains may be
stronger by then.
Police are also checking for reports of missing children.
