Death Valley bones linked to tourists
DEATH VALLEY NATIONAL PARK, Calif. — Skeletal remains found in Death Valley may belong to one or more of the four German tourists who vanished in searing summer heat 13 years ago, authorities said Friday.
Two hikers discovered the bones Thursday in a remote area of the Mojave Desert park. The hikers were search-and-rescue workers from Riverside County but they were off duty at the time, Inyo County sheriff’s spokeswoman Carma Roper said. Identification for one of the missing tourists was found near the bones, she said. "We’re fairly certain” that the remains are those of one or more of the long-missing visitors, Roper said. "At this point, it’s being handled like a criminal investigation … but there is no evidence of foul play.”
