"There won't be an ID tonight," Hayward police spokesman Lt. Roger Keener wrote in an email late Saturday. "I believe there will have to be forensic analysis to determine ID, which could be weeks."
Technicians carefully dug around the remains, which were "mostly bones," said Nelson, creating an archeological dig of sorts. They used a device to record 360-degree photographs of the scene, he said, but were unable to determine gender.
"In decomposition, there are lots of things that affect it -- temperature, rains," Nelson said. "When the back of the body is lifted and removed there may still be skin and clothes. We'll have to see."
Nelson said the bones had been at the site for no longer than two years.
