SEATTLE (Reuters) - A 93-year-old Washington state man, whose dog returned home with a human leg it had found, buried it in his back yard on an Indian reservation to avoid being suspected of a crime, a local official and media reports said.

The dog found the unknown person's leg last week on the Nisqually Reservation, roughly 60 miles south of Seattle, Thurston County Sheriff's Office spokesman Tim Rudloff said late on Monday evening.

Bill Flowers picked up the leg brought home by his dog, Liberty, and thought of calling the police, he told KOMO-TV at the weekend. But fearing they would suspect him of foul play, he buried it in his backyard, where it remained for several days until he told his daughter, who urged him to call the police.

"I was afraid to call. I'm 93 years old. I didn't want to have to go to the pen for something I didn't do," Flowers told the television station.

Officials and volunteers working with search dogs found a rib cage, a pelvis and part of a skull, including a jawbone with teeth, as they combed the area on Sunday, Rubloff said, adding that authorities were working to identify the remains.

What a story... Can you imagine your dog showing up at your door step with a human leg in its mouth? I can't say I fault the old man for wanting to get rid of the evidence and make the problem dissapear. Although to be honest, I'd probably burn the leg thoroughly and scatter the evidence as far away as possible.

WTF? Yeah, I would have called the cops. It's not like the rest of the body is on his property. Or is it...

Reminds me of the movie "The Burbs".

I can just hear it....the Leaders of the Indian Reservation are going to sue the guy and the Police for tampering with an ancient burial ground.

Also, don't name your dog Redskins.

Not sure why the police would have arrested him, they wouldn't have a leg to stand on.

What would you do when your pooch shows up the next day with an arm, or the following day with a skull and the day after that with rib bones?

Sounds like the beginning of a CSI episode.

I would have called the cops... but if I was 93, how knows... the brain functions differently at that age.

Install an invisible electric fence and fit the dog with a shock collar

The soundtrack is spectacular. I need a new DVD copy of it though, mine skips a few chapters towards the end.
