Police said additional remains of a victim whose partial body was found in a suitcase were discovered in a container in the suspect's Gibraltar apartment.
Gibraltar police Chief Ray Canterbury said the suspect, 52, admitted to dismembering the victim, Pam Prpich, 32, but did not confess to killing her. In fact, the chief said he can't even call the case a murder at this time.
"We can't say if it's a homicide," Chief Canterbury said. "We're hoping the medical examiner will determine a cause of death."no, she dismembered herself.
A store's surveillance camera captured the image of the suspect doing something suspicious that was connected to the Prpich case. The chief would not elaborate.
The victim and the suspect knew each other, the chief said, but he added there was no confirmation the two were romantically involved.
The victim's remains that were found in the suitcase near a Gibraltar apartment complex included the lower portion of the victim. The flesh had been removed from the thigh area
, the chief said, but he could not determine why.
There were no signs of cannibalism, and the suspect's apartment was tidy and well-kept. well that's comforting.
"We're a small town," Chief Canterbury said. "This horrific case didn't happen just to the family. This is something that happened to all of us. These things don't happen in Gibraltar."
