亚利桑那州普雷斯科特-本周末在亚利桑那州北部发现了当局称可能用于医学研究的人体部位。

根据亚瓦派县警长办公室周日发布的一份声明，周六，代表们收到了普雷斯科特附近遗体的通知，并进行了检查，证实它们是人类。

当局说，该地区已经安全，并通知了刑事调查局的侦探。调查一直持续到天黑，周日早晨在亚瓦派县医疗检查员办公室的协助下恢复了工作。

周日，在普雷斯科特西北的威廉姆森谷附近的营木地区发现了更多遗体。

亚瓦派县医学检验官杰弗里·尼尼（Jeffrey Nine）博士说，这两个遗址的遗体似乎都来自医疗机构，旨在用于教育和研究领域。

警长办公室声明说：“关于尸体及其相关身体部位的控制，运输和使用，有严格的标准。” “以这种方式遗弃遗体是严重的犯罪行为，治安官办公室和体检医师的目的是找到那些因这种不尊重而应受罪责的人，以轻巧的方式将其遗弃。”

警长办公室表示，除非有其他证明，否则将调查视为杀人案。

警长斯科特·马斯切尔（Scott Mascher）说：“让我感到惊讶的是，这已经不多了，但是这个消息使我感到恶心，特别是对于那些被发现遗体的家庭。我完全确定将追捕负责人员。”

马舍和警长选大卫·罗德一起工作。

罗德斯说：“这是一个奇怪而可怕的案子，目前的问题比答案要多。我有信心我们会尽快得到这些答案并找到负责任的人。”
 

Human body parts found discarded at 2 sites in Arizona

PRESCOTT, Ariz. -- Human body parts that authorities say may have been intended for medical research were found this weekend in northern Arizona.

Deputies were notified about the remains near Prescott on Saturday and an examination confirmed they were human, according to a statement released Sunday by the Yavapai County Sheriff's Office.

The area was secured and detectives from the Criminal Investigations Bureau were notified, authorities said. The investigation continued until dark and resumed Sunday morning with assistance from the Yavapai County Medical Examiner’s Office.

Additional remains were found Sunday in the Camp Wood area off Williamson Valley, northwest of Prescott.

Yavapai County Medical Examiner Dr. Jeffrey Nine said it appears the remains from both sites are from a medical institution and were intended for use in the educational and research field.

“There are rigorous standards regarding the control, transportation and use of cadavers and associated body parts,” the sheriff's office statement said. “Abandoning remains in this manner is a serious crime and it is the intent of the Sheriff’s Office and Medical Examiner to find those culpable for such disrespect shown in the cavalier way the remains were discarded.”

The Sheriff’s Office said it is treating the investigation as a homicide until proven otherwise.

“It is not much that could surprise me anymore, but this news makes me sick, especially for the families of those whose remains were found," said Sheriff Scott Mascher. "I have every assurance the persons responsible will be caught.”

Mascher and Sheriff-elect David Rhodes are working together.

“This is a bizarre and grisly case that has more questions than answers at this time," Rhodes said. “I have confidence we will get those answers soon and find those responsible.”
