Headless bodies may have been mother, son

ROCHESTER AP) -- A woman and boy whose headless bodies were found in a field near Rochester may have been mother and son and probably were black, Olmsted County Sheriff Steve Borchardt said today.

Borchardt said investigators who studied the evidence told him they ''can't eliminate her as mother, but they can't definitely say she was the mother without having the father's DNA, too.''

He said DNA tests indicate a ''very high probability'' that the two are mother and son. He said skin tests showed that the victims were probably black, although they may have been Hispanic.
