The gruesome discovery spoke to a ghastly crime.

On the afternoon of July 20, someone using a waterfront trail in Alameda spotted a large garbage bag wrapped in duct tape that smelled as if it was full of dead fish from the bay. When responding officers looked inside, they found the dismembered remains of a young woman whose head, hands and feet had been removed.

    I hate this two sentence headline format (“John Doe did blankety-blank. Now he’s yadda yadda whatever”) almost as much as I hate seeing headlines with the words, “slam,” “rip,” and “sparks outrage.”

      Yeah, those are the worst. I’m like, “Look, I’m a news-interested person, and I want to know about this guy. Just give me a headline that interests me without it seeming like you’re trying to trick me.”
