SPRINGFIELD, MO- Last month a Libby man stepped out in front of a train and was killed, and now it's possible one of the man's arms was found in a rail yard in Springfield, Missouri.

29-year-old William Escudero died instantly after a Burlington Northern Santa Fe train hit him on January 16th. On Monday an arm was found by a rail yard worker in Springfield and
authorities believe it belongs to Escudero.

The Lincoln County Sheriff's Office believes the arm must have gotten lodged underneath a rail car that was involved in the incident that eventually made its way to Missouri.

Law enforcement says the arm will probably be shipped back to Montana and the state crime lab will DNA test the arm to make sure it belongs to Escudero.
