Case Description

Any updates on this case? Let us know!

A transient was rummaging around the Tijuana River Valley Regional Park looking for recyclables. As he did so, he shuffled around debris, moving objects to uncover the nearly three feet of waste. At some point, he lifted a large sheet of plywood. Under the plywood, he found, what appeared to be, human remains. He removed additional debris from on top the decedent to verify that it was human. After verifying that the remains were in fact human, he departed and walked to Dairy Mart Road, where he flagged down a passing Border Patrol Agent.
