Human remains were found by a group conducting a clean-up in Ukiah over the weekend, the Mendocino County Sheriff’s Office reported.
According to the MCSO, deputies responded to the 1800 block of Low Gap Road around 9:50 a.m. March 22 when it was reported that possible human remains had been found in the area.
When they arrived, the deputies “contacted members of a local non-profit group who were conducting trash clean-up in the area. Deputies were advised that while cleaning up trash, one of the non-profit group members located what was believed to be human remains, (and upon a further search of the area), deputies located what they confirmed to be adult human remains.”
Following the discovery, investigators from both the MCSO and the Ukiah Police Department responded to the scene to process evidence and begin “researching active missing persons cases in an attempt to assist with identifying the human remains.”
The MCSO notes that while the cause and manner of death is still “actively being investigated, foul play is not suspected. Once positive identification is made and the legal next of kin is notified, an additional press release will be issued regarding the identification of the decedent.”
When asked for more details, such as the sex of the deceased person and approximately how long ago they died, MCSO spokesman Capt. Quincy Cromer said he could not “definitively say on gender” and that he was “hesitant to speculate (on how long ago the person died) while awaiting the autopsy.”
However, he noted that “based on the investigation at this point, it appears the remains were there for an extended period of time and it was skeletal remains that were recovered.”
The MCSO requests that anyone with information “regarding this investigation call the Sheriff’s Office Dispatch Center at 707-463-4086, or information can also be provided anonymously by calling the non-emergency tip line at 707-234-2100.”
