More human remains have been found at Lake Mead, marking the third set discovered in the area since early May.
On Monday, the National Park Service (NPS) was alerted about human remains at Lake Mead National Recreation Area around 4:30 p.m. local time, the NPS said in a news release.
Park rangers arrived on the scene and blocked off the area to "recover the remains," NPS added. The Clark County Medical Examiner has been contacted to determine the cause of death.
Authorities are still investigating, the NPS said, adding that "no further information is available at this time."
The gripping discovery comes after boaters found a barrel containing the body of a homicide victim in Lake Mead on May 1.
Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department detectives believe the victim was killed some time in the mid-1970s to early '80s, based on the clothing and footwear the victim was found with.
"The victim's clothes and shoes were sold at Kmart in the mid-to-late 1970s," Metro Police Homicide Lt. Ray Spencer told local news outlet KLAS.
"We believe this is a homicide as a result of a gunshot wound," Lt. Spencer added in the LVMPD's news release at the time.

Why do they have to embarrass the guy like that?
Digging a grave sized hole in the desert is hard work and takes a lot of time.
No doubt a silenced .22 rimfire behind the ear. A favorite of the pinky rings.

They’re finding all kinds of things because the drought has affected the water level. Look on the bright side of climate change: Lots of Vegas cold case crimes may be solved now. 🤣

While in Vegas I asked about wagering. Put the house deed on the table? Yep, it counts.
Not Jimmy Hoffa.
I thought standard practice was to put them in a hole in the desert with their feet out of the ground so the coyotes could dispose of the evidence.
Dumping them in the lake doesn’t get rid of the body and is also ecologically harmful.
“what happens in Vegas....”
Why do they have to embarrass the guy like that?
Brutal mob humiliation tactic:
“Louie, if they ever find you you’re gonna be wearin’ clothes from KMart.” [[ screams ]]
I suppose Las Vegas has been drinking 'humans' too.
The shoes and clothes were BOUGHT (not sold), etc., etc.
