El Paso Police: Remains found near Franklin Mountains
Investigators are still trying to determine how human remains ended up along the foothills of the Franklin Mountains.
According to El Paso Police, the remains were found Saturday, August 22nd, by hikers in the desert area near Pipeline Road and Transmountain. Officers with the Westside Patrol responded, along with Texas State Parks Officials.
Officers say they saw the human remains, in the form of bones, scattered in the area and then requested Crimes Against Person’s Detectives to help with the investigation.
The remains were transported to the Medical Examiners Office for possible identification and cause of death determination. Police officials say that, at this time, it has not been determined if the remains are those of a male or female.
Officials added, “There were no obvious signs of foul play located on the remains and the case is currently being handled as a Death Unattended” which means that the individual died and there is no known cause of death or doctor available to sign a death certificate.”

Great job in bringing back the Herald Post.
Worked at the El Paso Times and Herald Post
for many years and mostly enjoyed the after-
noon paper.

Welcome back, El Paso Herald Post (.com).
We need an additional outlet for comments about local issues. The El Paso Times
has to limit comments from any contributor to one a month. Sometimes
there are too many important things going on to wait that long to submit
an opinion to the paper. Hopefully you will fill that need.
I am looking forward to visit your website often.
