Bones Found in Mesa County

Mesa County Sheriff's Office investigators are searching for clues after human remains were found in the region.

The department is not disclosing the location of the find nor identifying who found the remains, said sheriff's spokeswoman Heather Benjamin. Investigators "want to keep the area clear for a forensic search."

The Mesa County coroner's office is working with investigators to identify the remains.

"We believe this will take a long time," Benjamin said.

It is too early to speculate whose body has been located, she added.
