Mystery as human LEG is found on the side of highway and cops don’t know if victim is dead or alive

'Detectives have launched an investigation after part of a human leg was discovered on the side of a highway.
Cops are currently unsure whether the victim is alive or dead after a traveller made the grisly find on Tuesday morning.

Authorities swiftly closed Stuart Highway between Howard Springs lights and Virginia Road in Coolalinga, Australia as urgent
forensic investigations were carried out. In a statement, detective Senior Sergeant Paul Morrissey said: “We've had a forensic
pathologist attend on-site who has confirmed the remains are a lower leg of a dark skinned human being.”


Where the leg managed to get to.

According to reports, police have not found any other body parts in the area, despite extensive search efforts of the major Northern
Territory highway. Det Morrissey said the person was likely to have suffered a serious injury...'

Wow! That's true detective work!

“We believe it's within the last 24 hours,” he said. “There have been no reports to hospitals or clinics with an injury of this severity.”
Major crash investigators, crime scene investigators and crime division detectives were called to the scene as officers scoured the
area for clues. Reports suggest teams concentrated their search on the intersection that separates the four-lane highway.

Since the discovery, police have now requested motorists with dash cam footage recorded on the section of highway between Monday
afternoon and Tuesday morning to come forward. Detective Morrisey said: “We are asking for witnesses or anyone who may have been
driving in the area to contact police on 131 444 and quote reference 10020603.”...'

Used to work there  Move along, nothing to see here

A young man and his mother have been arrested,  It's alleged they hit the person  Removed the body and dumped it some kilometers away.   Leaving the leg, my goodness.

Anyway, the young man is known to me, true love and the young ones and this doesn't surprise me in the least.

The driver and his mother been charged. Me shrugs shoulders.  As things progress through the courts, I'll update this and explain the relationship we had with the driver of the car  It's enlightening.

My regards,

Edit to add that Coolalinga is jokingly referred to as "smellmefinger". Don't have fond memories of the place.
