Investigators found the remains of four people after two days of searching a remote desert area of San Bernardino County where skeletal remains had been seen earlier in the week, authorities said Wednesday.
A motorcyclist riding off-road through the desolate area on Monday spotted what appeared to be human remains and called the Sheriff's Department, according to a department statement.
Coroner's officials confirmed the remains were human and returned Tuesday with investigators to excavate the site, in an unincorporated area near Victorville off Interstate 15, officials said.
On Wednesday, investigators continued to excavate two sites, where the bodies were found in shallow graves. Skeletal remains were also found scattered near the grave sites. Investigators excavated a third location but no remains were found.
In a statement Wednesday noting the completion of the excavation, sheriff's officials described the recovery as a "very meticulous process in efforts to preserve all possible evidence."
Investigators said it appears the remains had been buried for an extended period, and extensive work will be needed to identify the bodies. An examination by a forensic anthropologist will determine ages and genders.
As the investigation continues, the Sheriff's Department has asked anyone with information to contact Det. Armando Avila at (909) 387-3589. Anonymous tips are also welcome at (800) 782-7463.
