Police will continue their search Thursday for more clues in a gruesome murder mystery in a popular wilderness area in the Hollywood Hills -- a place near the homes of many of the rich and famous.

On Wednesday -- one day after two dog walkers discovered a severed head of a man in a plastic bag -- police found two severed hands and feet not far away from where the head was found.

Investigators -- using cadaver-recovery dogs --  first found a hand that appeared to match the body about 50 yards from where the head was found Tuesday afternoon. Later Wednesday afternoon, authorities discovered a second hand, Los Angeles police officer Rosario Herrera said.

Authorities believe the hands are in good enough condition to obtain fingerprints as they attempt to identify the victim -- a man, believed to be in his 40s with graying hair.

A male human head was found in a plastic bag on Tuesday afternoon near the Griffith Observatory in Hollywood and as the search for the body continues, RadarOnline.com has learned a severed hand has also been found.

"What we have is that we found a severed hand in the same vicinity as the head," Los Angeles Police Department spokesperson Cleon Joseph revealed on Wednesday.

Joseph tells RadarOnline.com several police officers are continuing their search.
