More human skeletal remains were discovered at Lake Mead's Swim Beach area, officials said.
More human skeletal remains were discovered at Lake Mead's Swim Beach area Monday night, officials said, marking the third time authorities have reported finding remains at the beach amid the lake's rapidly receding shoreline.
National Park Service rangers responded to Swim Beach at about 8 p.m. Monday night and worked with the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department's dive team to set a perimeter to recover the remains, the park service said in a news release. The Clark County coroner was also contacted.
The coroner's office is trying to extract DNA from the first two sets of remains in an effort to identify who they belong to, Rouse has said.
