Teen Stole Foot from Grave: Police

DALLAS - Dallas police arrested a teenager who showed them a human foot he said he took from a nearby cemetery on Friday morning.

They say around 3:30 a.m., 18-year-old Daniel Wayne Stanley walked up to two officers in the 2101 block of S. Buckner Blvd., and said he took the foot of a "Jew girl."

That's when he opened his backpack, police say, and showed the officers a decomposed foot inside. The foot still had some flesh attached, according to Dallas Police Sgt. Janice Crowther.

A hachet was also inside the bag.

Stanley then led the officers to the Tiferet Israel Agudas Achim Cemetery on Buckner Boulevard, just around the corner.

Police found a freshly-dug hole in front of the gravestone of Polya Gertsenshteyen.

By mid-morning on Friday, several detectives were on the scene, searching for more clues in the case.

Stanley was arrested for theft from a human corpse or grave, jailed in the Lew Sterett Justice Center. The Dallas County medical examiner has the severed limb.

The teen was arrested last month for a domestic terrorism threat.
