City Workers Find Human Remains In Santa Ana

Work crews were dispatched to the 1600 block of West Borchard Avenue Tuesday morning and found the bones while they were digging under a sidewalk.

This is the second time in a month that city workers have found buried human remains while working.

In late September, human remains were found at a construction site for the OC Streetcar project. Those bones were determined to be more than a century old.

Just like the remains discovered in September, these remains found during sidewalk work were determined to be Native American remains more than 100 years old.


Native American remains found in Santa Ana will receive ceremonial burial


"In a quiet residential neighborhood in Santa Ana, city workers were digging beneath a sidewalk when they made a startling discovery four feet deep — bones.

It appeared to be a complete human skeleton. Homicide detectives were summoned to the site in the 1600 block of West Borchard Avenue after the late October find.

But forensic investigators quickly determined that the bones were very old — at least 100 years old. And they appeared to be those of a Native American person, perhaps a member of the Gabrielino-Tongva tribe who once lived in the area."
