Reno Police Department says human remains were found in the area of Lower Evans Canyon near Shale Court late Monday afternoon. About 5:00 p.m., a hiker called in and said they had found human remains in the dirt area east of there. Detectives from the Robbery/Homicide unit are investigating. Washoe County’s RAVEN unit assisted with the response due to the darkness. Their investigation continued through to the next morning. The investigation remains ongoing and anyone with information is asked to contact Reno PD.
