A former Seattle resident is accused of dumping human body parts in remote Arizona.
According to the Yavapai Sheriff’s Office, 59-year-old Walter Mitchell moved to Scottsdale earlier this year. He ran a company called Future Gen X, which managed cadavers for medical research.
On Dec. 26, 2020, around 20 human limbs were discovered near Prescott, Ariz. The next day, a hunter found two human heads.
“Deputies arrived and confirmed what he had seen, and a follow-up search revealed three more human heads,” a representative from the Yavapai Sheriff’s Office told KIRO Radio.

Human body parts that may have been stolen from a medical institution were found dumped at two different sites in central Arizona over the weekend, authorities said.
Investigators suspect the remains were intended for use in “the educational and research field,” but they’re treating the gruesome case as a homicide “until proven otherwise,” the Yavapai County Sheriff’s Office said in a news release.
The first set of body parts was found Saturday afternoon in a remote area outside Prescott, about 100 miles north of Phoenix. Additional remains were found the next morning in a wooded area northwest of Prescott, according to the release.
