GALLUP, N.M. - Investigators are looking into the discovery of what is reported as a decapitated body last week near the Red Rock chapter house in northwestern New Mexico.

An FBI spokesman won't confirm details of the crime, saying only that an investigation is continuing.

Reports cite "several people near the scene" who had knowledge of the situation and that the corpse was headless.

The body was found Oct. 7 on a small hill above the chapter house, which is located southwest of Gallup. The area was littered with empty beer cans and bottles.

Navajo Nation police are assisting with the investigation.
