Someone discovered the body parts at Barretto Point Park in the Hunts Point section.

He reported it to his boss who looked inside the bags with another employee the next day.

"I was walking my dogs and my dogs went to the bags and the parks people told me not to go by the bags because it smells," said one person in the park.
