Overview
- Deputies following up on a missing-person inquiry discovered the remains of two people at a remote Lancaster property near East Avenue F and 50th Street East, investigators said Tuesday.
- The Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department has opened a homicide investigation and said detectives are in the early stages of processing the scene.
- Investigators excavated what appeared to be an old greenhouse, used cadaver dogs, erected a white pop-up tent, photographed evidence markers, and collected material for forensics.
- A second property in the 43000 block of Blooming Park Street was searched with no arrests, and authorities say there is no public confirmation that the discovery is linked to a recent missing person reported in the area.
- The probe remains active and the county’s Homicide Bureau is handling tips while forensic testing and formal identification will determine cause of death and any ties to other cases.
