Skeleton Found in Field in Saugus
The skeletal remains of a person who may have been shot in the head were found Tuesday in an open field in the Saugus area, according to the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department.
The bones were found about 1:45 p.m. in a field near Redview Drive and Golden Triangle Road, Deputy Hal Grant said.
Deputies said they did not know yet if the skeleton was that of a man or woman and had no idea how long the body had been there. “They think there’s a bullet hole in the head, but the investigation is not complete,” Grant said.
“The skeleton has been out there for quite some time,” possibly several months, he said.
The skeleton has been turned over to the county coroner’s office, Grant said.
