Human remains found along rural Nevada County road, sparking investigation
Deputies said the two were recreating in the area of Banner Quaker Hill Road, which is a lengthy paved road that turns into a dirt, fire access road.
When the father and son duo found the human remains, they called 911. Deputies and detectives responded and confirmed the remains were human.
Deputies said due to the level of decomposition, the remains have not been identified, nor has a cause of death been determined.
The remains were taken to Placer County Morgue, where a formal autopsy is scheduled for July 29.

Sen. Graham Calls For ‘Investigation' Into Obama — Playing Into Trump's Epstein Distraction
Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) said he is not calling for the 'prosecution' of former President Barack Obama but does want an 'investigation' after President Donald Trump accused Obama of committing treason. While appearing Sunday on NBC's 'Meet the Press' host Kristen Welker asked Graham directly if he thinks Obama committed treason. 'I'm not alleging he committed treason, but I am saying it bothers me, it's disturbing that this is new information,' Graham replied.'... I'm not calling for prosecution against President Obama for treason. But I am calling for an investigation.' Graham's comments came after Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard on Wednesday declassified documents that she said could implicate members of the Obama administration for 'treasonous' behavior during the 2016 election. Last week, President Donald Trump accused his predecessor of committing treason and rigging the 2016 election. Trump abruptly pivoted to calling out Obama after reporters in the Oval Office asked him about Jeffrey Epstein. Obama's office issued a rare rebuke of Trump's 'bizarre' claims, calling the world leader's attack 'a weak attempt at distraction.' The Trump administration has faced scrutiny over the controversy surrounding disgraced financier and sex offender Epstein. The criticism ramped up after the Department of Justice and FBI released a two-page memo earlier this month. The memo said their Epstein investigation determined that there was no evidence Epstein was murdered in prison or had a 'client list' of powerful people he could potentially blackmail. Since the memo's release, both Republicans and Democrats have called on the Trump administration to release more information. 'Well, I think somebody needs to look at what we found,' Graham continued. 'The intel committee looked at the matter. And they said in 2017, the intelligence analysis of 2017 showing that Russia was trying to interfere in our election was real. They didn't achieve their goal. But what she found, Ms. Gabbard, is that in 2016, the intelligence community told President Obama, 'There's no evidence that Russia was involved in trying to change the outcome of the election.' 'And he supposedly told a group of people, 'Keep looking.' And the analysis changed. So what we're looking at is, what role did Obama play in 2016 to change the narrative that resulted in 2017?' Graham went on to say that the 'best way to handle this' is to create a special counsel. 'If there is evidence of a crime being committed or suspected evidence of a crime being committed, create a special counsel to look at it. I think that's the best way to go,' he added.

Grenade killed 3 Los Angeles sheriff's officials, but second grenade unaccounted for
LOS ANGELES — A grenade that was taken to a Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department facility detonated last week and killed three detectives, but a second grenade remains unaccounted for, the sheriff said Friday. The sheriff's officials on the Special Enforcement Bureau's Arson Explosives Detail believed the two military-style grenades they seized from a Santa Monica storage unit on July 17 were inert, but one of them detonated the next day and killed the three men, officials said. A federal investigation has determined that the second grenade remains unaccounted for, Sheriff Robert Luna said. Investigators have used X-rays and searched vehicles and lockers at the East Los Angeles facility, as well as the blast site and facility perimeter, since the explosion, he said. 'We have looked at everything out there that we possibly could,' Luna said. He said the investigation into how the explosion happened was ongoing. 'Right now there's a second grenade that we're not 100% sure where it's at,' Luna said. The explosion occurred around 7:30 a.m. on July 18 at the sheriff's department's Biscailuz Training Facility. Killed were detectives Joshua Kelley-Eklund, Victor Lemus and William Osborn, who were all on the Special Enforcement Bureau's Arson Explosives Detail. The day before the explosion, the detail was called to help Santa Monica police after two grenades were found in a tenant storage unit in a building's underground parking garage, Luna said. The explosives detectives 'X-rayed the devices and believed that they were both inert,' Luna said. The devices were taken to the facility to be destroyed and rendered safe, he said. Officials do not believe the second grenade was lost en route from Santa Monica to the training center, Luna said. 'We believe with confidence that did not occur,' he said. Santa Monica is around 20 miles away from East Los Angeles. But if anyone sees what appears to be a grenade, explosive device or even an unknown object, they are warned not to touch it and to call 911. The federal Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives will lead the investigation into the whereabouts of the second device, Luna said. The ATF has also sent its national response team to Los Angeles. 'I can tell you with clarity from our post-blast examination that we know one device exploded,' said Kenny Cooper, special agent in charge at the ATF's Los Angeles division. 'And we have not recovered any evidence from a second device on that scene.' Cooper said investigators, using explosives-detecting dogs, drones and cherry-pickers to look in trees, have 'meticulously examined the radius of over 400 feet from the blast site multiple times.' 'Over the abundance of caution, we searched a blast area far greater than the results of that explosive device,' Cooper said. There has been changes in how the sheriff's department handles explosives, including treating all devices, even ones believed to be inert, as live, Luna said. Luna said he has called for a thorough after-action review of department policies. 'We're going to turn this upside down. We're going to look at everything,' Luna said. 'We owe it to the families,' he said. 'And for God's sake, I never want this to happen again.' This article was originally published on
