Altadena Has Seen Remains Discoveries Before
Friday's case is not the first time human remains have turned up in Altadena, though no connection between this incident and past cases has been established. In November 2010, hikers discovered human remains about a half-mile up the Mount Lowe Railway trail at the Cobb Estate, according to a report from pasadenastarnews.com. Detectives at the time said there were no obvious signs of foul play, though they did not rule out homicide pending a coroner's investigation, and the remains had not yet been identified as male or female or linked to any missing persons.
In a separate, more recent case near an Altadena hiking trail, authorities said remains found inside a tent belonged to a person experiencing homelessness who had been living there, according to abc7.com. Investigators in that case believed the person had died of natural causes and that no crime was involved.
