2 bodies found on Lancaster property during LA County missing person investigation
Two bodies were found while Los Angeles County detectives conducted a search warrant at a property in Lancaster on Tuesday, according to authorities.
The discovery was made at a home near 50th Street East and Avenue F, Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department officials told CBS LA. Homicide Bureau detectives were in the area serving a search warrant connected to a missing person's investigation at the time.
LASD officials said that no information regarding the identities of the victims or their manner of death would be released as their investigation continued.
"Based on the circumstances surrounding the discovery, the case is now being investigated as a homicide. Homicide investigators are in the early stages of investigating the scene," a news release from LASD said.
Aerial footage showed authorities digging a hole underneath what appeared to be the remains of a greenhouse. There were piles of junk around the area, including mattresses, plastic tarp and trash. The property was extremely remote and had several rundown buildings and recreational vehicles several hundred yards from where deputies were digging.
