Human remains found on Southern California shoreline on consecutive days

Authorities are investigating after multiple body parts — including human legs — have turned up on a shoreline in Southern California.

NBC Los Angeles reported the first finding, a human leg, which was discovered by a family on Christmas morning on the shoreline of Palos Verdes Estates.

More human remains were found Thursday in the same area, near the 6800 block of Paseo del Mar, police told the outlet.

A second leg was found by a beachgoer just before 1 p.m. and a femur was found shortly after during a search of the area, police said.

Multiple attempts by NBC News to reach Palos Verdes Estates police on Friday afternoon were unsuccessful.

After the leg was found on Christmas, police used dogs trained to detect human remains and scoured the area, NBC LA reported.

No evidence has tied the findings to two fishermen who disappeared Tuesday in the same area.

Aaron Belda, with the Palos Verdes Estates police, told NBC LA that investigators are “not ruling anything out” and “considering all possibilities.”

Police have also not linked the body parts found this week to a skull and bone found in November on the same beach only a short distance away, the outlet reported.

Palos Verdes Estates is about 25 miles south of Santa Monica.
