The DPS officer took QPD officers to the skeleton re- mains found. QPD officers arrived on the scene and identified partial human skeletal remains located near the freeway in the desert area. After a thorough investigation, the partial human skeletal remains were removed from the scene by Parker Funeral Home and sent to Pima County Medical Examiner's Office in Tucson, Arizona for a scientific medical examination and for positive identification purposes. This includes dental, hair and DNA comparisons. QPD officers found a State of California identification card and other documents possibly identifying the deceased person. The QPD case officer has re- quested assistance from the Mexican Consulate to notify the apparent next of kin in Mexico. Once this has been accomplished, a follow-up press release of the deceased person's name will be released.
