AMARILLO, Texas (AP) - An investigator sorted through the trash in an Amarillo garbage truck on Monday after workers discovered a human head in the truck's hopper. "The trash is going to make any forensic evidence hard to collect," Amarillo police Lt. Gary Trupe said. After collecting the head, police retraced the truck's route. The truck had already dumped a full load and collected another 40 trash bins when an employee spotted the head. "Hopefully, there wasn't something that was in the first load that was dumped," Trupe said. Police did not identify the head or a cause of death on Monday. Potter County Justice of the Peace Haven Dysart said he had little to work with other than the time and location of the head's discovery. "If we don't find anything else, we still need to have some kind of identification," he said.

What's going on, Amarillo? This sounds like Houstoned news...
