Alabama investigators are seeking new leads in a bizarre cold case murder that has remained unsolved for 22 years.

The male victim’s feet were bound by rope but missing were the victim’s head, hands, heart and spleen, according to reports. Recovered near the body were a handful of air fresheners.

Last week, investigators with the Marshall County Sheriff’s Office released a sketch of a potential suspect and appealed for information that can identify the victim.

“The hands and head had been removed, obviously to keep us from identifying the victim,” chief investigator Keith Wilson told WHNT-TV Saturday.

WAAF-TV reported Saturday that the victim’s heart and spleen had been surgically removed but investigators weren’t sure why.

Wilson told the two stations that the victim appears to be a 5-foot-9 man in his 20s who weighed 155 pounds and had strawberry blonde hair.
