Fishermen Find Body Parts In NW Miami-Dade

NORTHWEST MIAMI-DADE (CBS4) -- Two men fishing in a canal in Northwest Miami-Dade late Friday afternoon made a gruesome discovery--human remains found floating in a large plastic storage container.

Miami-Dade detectives were called to the scene at Northwest 183rd Street and Northwest 73rd Avenue.

Detective Alvaro Zabaleta says they do not know the identity, race, or even gender of the body parts. They also do not know how long the body parts have been in the container.
