Detectives served a warrant on Thursday night at a Hollywood apartment as part of the investigation, and while no arrests were made, a car was towed from the property and neighbors were asked how often the trash was taken away.

As RadarOnline.com previously reported that on Wednesday -- one day after two dog walkers discovered the severed head of a man in a plastic bag -- police found two severed hands and feet not far away from where the head was found.

“I thought it might have been a soccer ball. I turned to my mom and said it actually looked like a head, and so we thought it was maybe some sort of a movie prop.

"My mom was the brave one and she walked down into the ravine and got close and saw that there was eyes and blood in hair, and that it was, in fact, a human head," she explained.
