Coroner: Severed hands, feet found in South Carolina residences a mile apart

Authorities in South Carolina are investigating the discovery of severed hands and feet at two homes about a mile (1.6 kilometers) apart.

Greenville County Coroner's investigator Scott Ramsey says the body parts were found early Monday in black plastic bags.

Greenville police Cpl. Jason Rampey says a woman found body parts near her apartment. A second person soon reported a similarly gruesome find inside a home about a mile (1.6 kilometers) away.

Rampey says the callers are related but he would not say how.

Authorities are not sure if the body parts are from the same person and would not say which parts were found where. Ramsey says investigators found very little blood.
