Orange County investigators Tuesday were analyzing bones found in the backyard of a Mission Viejo home to determine if they were human.
A resident in the 24000 block of Via Madrugada called deputies mid-day Monday while working in a patch of dirt in the backyard, said Carrie Braun of the Orange County Sheriff’s Department.
Investigators were working with crime lab experts to determine if the bones came from a human or animal, Braun said.
