Hunters Find Human Skeletal Remains

ACTON — A group of hunters discovered a human skull and other bones in a remote part of the woods near Aliso Canyon Road on Saturday, sheriff’s officials said.

The age and gender of the remains have yet to be determined, Deputy Bob Killeen said, adding that “the remains are believed to be human.”

Hunters found the skeletal remains about 2 p.m. in a mountainous and wooded area about four miles east of Soledad Canyon Road, Killeen said.

Homicide detectives and coroners officials were called to the scene about 4:15 p.m., Killeen said. It took more than two hours for detectives to reach the location of the bones. “It’s really rugged and remote up that way,” Killeen said.
