KC police say identifications on three bodies could take awhile

KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) -- Kansas City police say it could take awhile to identify three bodies found dumped over the weekend.

Autopsies revealed the bodies to be those of one woman and two men. But police say getting more details has been difficult because the bodies were so badly decomposed.

Sgt. Tony Sanders says the bodies could have been lying where they were dumped for as long as a month. He says detectives believe the victims were killed elsewhere and taken to the wooded dumping site near the Blue River.

A city services worker found the first body Saturday morning while helping with an annual river cleanup. Police later recovered the other two bodies.
