NEW FRANKLIN, Ohio — Police in northeast Ohio have no leads in solving a Friday the 13th mystery involving the dumping of several deer carcasses alongside a road.

The Akron Beacon Journal reported that the mutilated and disemboweled remains of at least three deer were discovered on the side of a road in New Franklin on Friday morning.
