This is a strange one.
Partial skeletal parts found inside a vehicle while a handyman was doing repairs on it. Inventory of remains is blank again.
Age unknown. Sex unknown. Race unknown. No PMI or H/W.

Okay, NAMUS doesn't even provide a description of the vehicle???

Intriguing!

I wonder if this was an abandoned car in a junkyard or something? Feel they should specify on that.
Do they have any exclusions? Can't see as I'm European.

Doesn’t give us much to go on, other than a location in Las Vegas.

Putting the coordinates into Google Earth, brings up an area near 6139 Smoke Ranch Rd with a Chevron gas station. There is a Quick Lube & Tube behind this & also a sign for O’Reilly Auto Parts ( just guessing but the latter seems the more likely location)

Ill try to attach a screenshot, but failing that the coordinates are
36°12'11.1"N 115°13'28.2"W

I live in Las Vegas and It's a busy commercial area.

I assume O’Reilly Auto Parts is/has a scrapyard

Thank you. I'm starting to think this isn't really a missing person/foul play and a car was taken into the scrapyard after a particularly brutal car accident without realising there was still a human remain wedged in the car somewhere.

it does not.

 

[Bethan]

it does not.

Thanks. Wrong assumption on my part!

If the bones were small, they could just be animal remains. They just likely can't get solid confirmation that they aren't human.

It's been 2 years. They probably know they're not animal remains.

Unfortunately, if this NAMUS map pin is accurate -- it's the first one I've ever heard of that was in the right place.

A vehicle that was totaled -- good thought!

Another thought…..there was a case ‘relatively‘ recently ( 1-2 years?) where a car owner ( or mechanic….I don’t remember details unfortunately) to everyone’s horror found human remains caught in the underside a car.

The owner was cleared of any involvement. The remains were shown to belong to a person so badly injured in a RTA that the remains stuck under the car had not been missed.

I’ll for the thread or an MSN reference now.

Found the case I was referring to

Reported Feb 22, RTA was in Dec 21

usually no, its a chain and they are usually in strip malls.

Is it more likely the bone was in a heap of spare parts or something? I've realised I might have been misleading. It doesn't exactly say it was found inside a vehicle in the description.
