Hiking up the Bronson incline, sun in my hair, surrounded by quiet, hawks above and dog tagging behind, Â I am always thrilled that this respite from urban life sits tranquilly above all the noise and chaos of the city below.
So it was tough to hear that severed body parts were found  on Tuesday along the trails in Bronson Canyon. The story is gruesome and still unfolding, and is detailed in the LA Times and other sources.
