MACABRE MANURE PILE MYSTERY: 'THEY'RE NOT BLACK'

GARY, Indiana cops are trying to unravel the mystery of two murder victims found in a manure pile at an area horse farm. So far, all cops know is that the victims are either white or Hispanic.

Det. Michael Barnes told the Chicago Sun-Times: “We’re not sure which, but we know for sure they’re not black." One victim was wrapped in black plastic bags while the other's hands were bound.

Cops remained tight-lipped on how the men died but said they were checking missing persons reports seeking a match to the

dead men. One is 5-feet-6, 160 lbs., while the other is between 5-feet-10 and 6-feet weighing in at more than 200 lbs. Barnes declined to provide clothing descriptions for the pair.

He added: “I think we will be able to identify them,” Barnes said.

However, since the duo were covered in manure, the time of their death is difficult to determine because the manure speeds decomposition, he explained.
