Prosecutors said the human remains — mostly body parts of women — were linked to as many as 12 people.

Two woodcutters found a human arm and leg on Dec. 26, 2020 and responding county sheriff’s deputies discovered nearly two dozen body parts.

The next day, prosecutors said two hunters came upon two severed heads and that led to the recovery of three other heads. Investigators said most of the body parts had tags and serial numbers indicating they were donated for medical research. That evidence along with a label for the name of Mitchell’s whole-body donation business led law enforcement to him.Prosecutors said Mitchell took the donor parts packed in dry ice with him in a U-Haul truck when he moved to Arizona.

He kept the parts in a freezer in a shed north of Prescott in Chino Valley and told authorities later that he dumped them in late November 2020.©2022 Cox Media Group
