Police Seek Killer in Body Parts Case

January 21, 2012

Los Angeles police detectives are searching for the killer of a man whose remains were found in Bronson Canyon Park near the Hollywood sign earlier this week.  The victim has been identified as Hervey Medellin, 66, according to the L.A. County Coroner’s Office. A former Mexicana Airlines employee, Medellin had left the company and lived in the Hollywood area for some time, according to media reports. Medellin’s head was found at about 2:30 p.m. Tuesday on the 3200 block of Canyon Drive. A pair of dog walkers discovered the head after it fell out of a plastic bag that two of their dogs were playing with. Authorities located Medellin’s hands and feet while searching the area Wednesday. They do not believe the body parts had been there long. An earlier theory that the case was connected to the discovery of a human torso in Arizona has been discounted. Investigators had estimated that the victim was between 40 and 60 years old. The head reportedly had gray hair. The search for more body parts continued Thursday but no other human remains were found. By Friday the park was reopened to the public.  Police said a search warrant was served at a Hollywood apartment Thursday in connection with the case. No one has been arrested, Los Angeles Police Department spokesman Richard French said. At least one person has been questioned and detectives are looking to talk to at least one other man, according to media reports. “Detectives are continuing to make investigative progress on the case, and will release more details and developments when they can,” French said. Anyone with information on the case is urged to call 877-LAPD-24-7. All tips can be made anonymously. This report was compiled with information from City News Service.
