Are there any additional exclusions since the 4 listed above in November 2019?

Ahh they need to rule-out BL. (Unless they have and it just hasn't been made public for some reason. You'd think they'd keeping receiving emails and calls to ask, though...)

Human Skeleton Found in Tick Burn Area - SCVNews.com

Human skeletal remains were discovered in Canyon Country near an area affected by the Tick Fire Saturday, according to Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department officials.

The remains were found near the intersection of Sand Canyon Road and Thompson Ranch Drive, per officials.
“The only thing we have is that a public works employee was working in the area and stumbled upon this,” said Deputy Morgan Arteaga of the Sheriff’s Information Bureau.
The discovered body is not believed to be the result of the Tick Fire, according to Arteaga.
“The human remains are not burned as of this time, they were just remains found in a burned area,” said Arteaga, at approximately 3:10 p.m. on Saturday.
As investigators worked on the scene they said the public works employee had discovered a human skeleton that they believe to have been in the area for more than a year, according to Lt. Derrick Alfred, LASD Homicide Bureau.
“We don’t have any reason to believe that this is a victim of this fire or previous fires,” said Alfred. “It looks like the body may have been concealed up here or was here in the vegetation and after the fire, the body was revealed and found by the public.”​

Homicide detectives, meanwhile, were examining why human remains were found in a burn area near Sand Canyon Road and Thompson Ranch Drive in Santa Clarita, according to the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department. They later determined there was no connection to the fire.

It appears the remains have been there at least one year, according to investigators. They found large bones, including a skull and leg bones. “It looks like it probably was an adult,” said Sheriff’s Department Deputy Morgan Arteaga.

Bumping up. At least there are some exclusions, so they have an identifier. I wonder if they have been able to isolate DNA, at least determine if they are a male or female?
