After following her, they were led to the site of a dead body outside an abandoned home in the Californian city

And when they caught up with the lady, she led them to the site of a decomposed body in the Californian city of Sacramento.
Sergeant Bryce Heinlein told KTXL: “There was a transient female walking down the 2900 block of Connie Drive. She actually had a skull in her possession.”
The woman – wearing a pink jacket and patchwork pyjamas – was finally tracked down near an abandoned house.

She then led officers to the site of the decomposing body, from which she had taken the skull.
Officers have spent two days analysing the scene of the gruesome find.
They are yet to announce if the victim has been identified.

Sergeant Bryce Heinlein admitted the incident was one of the strangest he had experienced during his career with the police

Sergeant Heinlein added: “She brought the officers to the area where she located the skull.
“A call like this is not something that happens every day.
“We hope we can get down to the bottom of what caused this person to be deceased.”
