Police were called when a man was seen walking through a
Brisbane neighborhood with a partial human skull on November 16,
2012. He told police that he found the skull in a tree while
walking and the skull called out his name. He couldn't remember
where the tree was and although the area was searched, no
additional remains were found at the time. The man was
subsequently arrested.
After his release from jail on January 16, 2013, the man took
officials to the site where the woman's remains were located -
on a vacant hillside property, southwest of Bayshore Boulevard
and Old County Road.

Woman’s Remains Found In Brisbane After Man Shows Off Human
Skull
BRISBANE (CBS SF) – Police in Brisbane were working to identify
a woman whose remains were found on a hillside – a discovery
prompted by the November arrest of a man who was walking around
with a human skull.
On Tuesday, police said the case came to light after a 9-1-1
call in November about a man in downtown Brisbane with a human
skull.
A customer at Madhouse coffee shop had called to report a man,
identified as 56-year-old Joseph Carrabino, was showing off a
skull that he said he’d just found.
Carrabino refused to give up the skull when confronted by cops
on the cafe courtyard, police said. Witnesses said officers used
a taser to subdue Carrabino after he tangled with officers. Two
officers were hurt in the confrontation, police said.
Carrabino charged with resisting arrest and assault on an
officer, according to District Attorney Steve Wagstaffe.
Carrabino pleaded no contest to the assault charge.
After Carrabino was released from jail in January, he lead
investigators a vacant hillside property in Brisbane where he
had found the skull. Police fouind the rest of the remains and
identified it as a woman’s body.
Police have not said how long the remains appear to have been
there, or whether Carrabino had anything to do with the woman’s
death.
Investigators are reportedly looking at missing person reports
and DNA analysis to try to identify the woman.
A KPIX 5 reporter who caught up with Carrabino on Tuesday could
not get him to answer any questions. Reporter Joe Vazquez and
his photographer were blocked from approaching Carrabino by a
man waving a large wrench.
Brisbane police ask anyone who might have any information that
could help in the case to call them at 415-467-1212..
