Authorities in Niagara Falls are investigating a gruesome murder after they found a dismembered body inside a vacant home on Willow Avenue.

Police say that the murder of 46-year-old Terri Bills is very similar to the death of her aunt through marriage, Loretta Gates. Both women were involved in drugs and prostitution, they hung out together at the same places, and both bodies were found dismembered.

Authorities believe that Terri Bills' body was placed in the Willow Avenue home after the murder, with her head, hands and feet removed from her body.

Authorities will continue the investigation today, and until the killer is found.
