The headless body was found inside a brown bag, while the goat's decapitated head was found a few feet away, according to the Suffolk County Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals.

This can't be good for business... or can it?

MEXICO CITY — A well-known U.S. anti-kidnapping expert has himself fallen victim to the wave of abductions in Mexico as unidentified assailants snatched him from a street in the northern state of Coahuila.
