A hiker found human remains Tuesday around noon in the hills north of Carson City. The remains were found in the area of Goni Hills approximately 400 yards from the nearest dirt trail road. Detectives responded to the area and retrieved a human skull, jaw, and what appeared to be a single vertebra. The bones, according to detectives, had been in the environment for an extended period of time. Search and Rescue crews are preparing for a more extensive search of the area today. The remains will be taken to the Washoe County Medical Examiner’s Office for examination and an attempt to identify the person. Anyone with information is encouraged to contact the Carson City Sheriff’s Office.
