Nine months later and the mysterious severed head still doesn't have a body. Or a murder charge.
It may be one of the strangest cases homicide investigators have ever seen in Amarillo.

They had a head, but no name and no body.

When an Amarillo solid-waste employee started a compressor on his trash truck March 27, he saw a head in the hopper of the truck. The discovery led investigators to days of searching the city's landfill for the body to match the head, but they found nothing.

Now, about 8½ months after the discovery, investigators are still puzzling over the death of the man, who they only know as a white male, about 38 to 58 years old.
Bizarre. So it hasn't been ruled a homicide, but it's hard to imagine that this isn't part of some kind of crime.
