Investigators are trying to solve a gruesome mystery in the Conejo Valley.
A hiker found the skeletal remains of a body. The remains were discovered Monday night, in a ravine near Roadrunner Avenue, near the Arroyo Conejo Nature Preserve.
Due to decomposition, investigators weren’t immediately sure the remains which were found were those of a human. They later determined that they were. There’s word yet on whether they were the remains of a male, or female.
The manner and cause of death are also unknown. Ventura County Search and Rescue team members, as well as a drone have been involved in an effort to survey the area, to see if there might be some clues as to the person’s identity nearby.
