He also described the commotion caused by the dead body. “I went to walk back there and thought, Damn! What the hell is that smell? It made me sick to my stomach, so I turned my ass around and came back here,” he said. “Twenty cop cars out here. And the cops got her out there. And they’re taking pictures of her holding a head. Then they get her hands and CSI showing up.”
