“Detectives have learned, a utility employee discovered a human skull within the riverbed,” said Deputy Armando Viera Jr. in a previous KHTS story.
Homicide detectives and investigators with the Los Angeles County Department of Medical Examiner-Coroner returned to the riverbed three days later, employing the use of a cadaver dog to uncover more human remains.
“During the search, additional human remains were discovered approximately 100 yards from Wednesday’s discovery of a human skull,” said Deputy Grace Medrano of the LASD Information Bureau at the time.
