Human Remains Found In Malibu Creek State Park

CALABASAS, CA — Two hikers found human remains in Malibu Canyon on Monday, prompting the Sheriff's Department to investigate, according to the city of Malibu.

The hikers found what authorities have called "skeletonized remains" inside a rugged area of the canyon with heavy foliage inside Malibu Creek State Park.

The remains were found near a destroyed vehicle, the presence of which was noted by authorities about 18 months ago, but deputies don't yet know if the remains are linked to that vehicle, according to a statement from the city.

Anyone with information is asked to call Crime Stoppers at 800-222-8477 or submit a report online.
