“A neighbor told me there was a body in the back seat,” he said. “I was taking the trash out this morning and saw it.”
He said they usually see stolen cars in their neighborhood but nothing like this.
“It was just creepy, kind of scary, kind of sad,” he said. “So, that’s about the way I can describe it.”
