Law enforcement agencies are comparing notes to see if there is any connection between the deaths of several boys and young men found dumped in trash bins. The latest body was found Wednesday, dismembered and stuffed into three separate trash bags in a gas station dumpster. Only two days before, another young man’s body was found in a dumpster in Agoura.

The dismembered body was not immediately identified, and an autopsy was scheduled today. Investigators said it was a white male in his late teens or early 20s. The body found Monday was identified as Donald Ray Hyden, 15, of Hollywood. He had been stabbed to death and possibly sexually molested before being placed in the dumpster on Liberty Canyon Road just north of the Ventura Freeway, said Sheriff’s Lt. Stanley Beckman.
