  2. I live in the AV and there is a saying that if you asked all the dead bodies to please stand up we would have a forest of the dead :(

  3. from my understanding they believe this may have been a woman who committed suicide, so in this particular case, I do not think we have a killer running loose …..

  4. The AV has been a popular dumping ground since the 1930’s. The Mafia used to dump bodies out here.

    Trut me, there’s hundreds of bodies yet to be discovered.

  5. AS FAR AS I CAN RECALL SINCE 2010 HUMAN REMAINS HAVE BEEN FOUND THROUGHOUT THE AV! I WONDER IF THEY HAVE EVER BEEN IDENTIFIED? THIS IS WHAT? THE SECOND OF SET OF REMAINS, REMEMBER THE ONE FROM AVE H AND DIVISION ST?

    • As stated before, this was and probably still is a dumping ground for drug deals gone wrong etc….I have been here for 50 years and it was that way then…nothing new…except more people so they come across more bones.

  6. I wonder if they ever determined who’s hand was found near the school in Lake Los Angeles.

  8. Master Si was a very dear friend of mine. He was my sons master and mentor.
    It is beyond words heartbreaking for the whole family. The young kids were wonderful children and there momwas one of the kindest woman I ever had the pleasure of meeting.

  9. There will never be any clouser to that murder,, 2 young childern and 2 adults slattered,,, then set afire,,, and the 2 that did it will just set in jail,, never get tried,,

  10. Wow, wonder if it could Si Young Yoon, the missing martial arts instructor who disappeared after the 2008 machete/arson murders in Quartz Hill??
