Fifth set of human skeletal remains found at Lake Mead

Another set of human skeletal remains was discovered at drought-stricken Lake Mead on Monday – the fifth set of remains recovered since May and the third to be found at the lake’s Swim Beach area.

National Park Service (NPS) rangers set up a perimeter in the Swim Beach area of the Lake Mead National Recreation Area in Nevada to recover the remains after responding around 8 p.m. to a report of the grim finding, the NPS said in a statement on Tuesday.

The Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department’s dive team assisted in the recovery. Officials said that the Clark County Medical Examiner has also been contacted.

The investigation is ongoing, and no further information will be immediately provided, the NPS said.

It marked the fifth time since May that remains had been uncovered as Western drought forces the shoreline to retreat at the shrinking Colorado River reservoir behind the Hoover Dam.

Was it Jimmy Hoffa?

They're almost certain to be mob hits from Vegas.  There will be more found.

Many many more to come at this rate....

I'm guessing "Swim Beach" has lost some of its appeal.

Swim Beach is about a mile from the actual water.  But I see your point!

As a Briefer close to Lake Mead, I can assure you that if the water keeps dropping, more will be found.  Back in the 70's and before, the mob was prolific in their kill rate and this is the dumping ground for the bodies.
