In one of the more bizarre cases in recent memory, Australian police continue to investigate the bizarre discovery of human body parts in the vault of an abandoned bank building in this dusty outback town. Six black plastic vats in the vault of the vacant Bank of South Australia building were found to contain portions of eight partially dissolved bodies, including 15 different feet, according to authorities. The grisly discoveries in this sleepy town 93 miles north of Adelaide triggered a wide-ranging investigation that has turned up three more bodies and led to the arrest of four people.
Police say the investigation is continuing.
Another body in plastic bags In a task force probe that has followed leads across the region, police used ground-penetrating radar to find body parts buried in two plastic bags under a concrete slab at a house in the Adelaide suburb of Salisbury North. A second, much deeper, search at the same site several days later turned up the skeletal remains of yet another body. Elizabeth Haydon Police have not publicly identified all of the victims, but one of them was Barry Lane, who was 40 at the time of his disappearance in 1997. He had lived at one time with Wagner, and their residence was a block away from that of Bunting. It was at the Bunting house that police found two of the victims buried in the back yard.
