BURBANK (CNS) - Police today said skeletal remains found by a hiker in a mountainous area of Burbank were of human origin, and urged anyone with information on the death to contact detectives.
The remains were discovered about 1:35 p.m. Thursday near a hiking trail above Elmwood Avenue, and investigators were sent to the scene, said Burbank police Sgt. Emil Brimway.
“The Los Angeles County coroner investigator determined the skeletal remains were, in fact, human,'' Brimway said in a statement released Monday. “The potential identification of the decedent can take upwards of several months to a year.''
