The causes of death were unknown, but detectives were investigating the fatalities as suspicious, according to a news release by the Sheriff’s Information Bureau.
“Homicide Detectives are currently interviewing persons of interest related to this case. Information regarding the persons of interest will not be released,” the news release states.
None of the three people have been publicly identified, and a coroner’s office spokeswoman said the case was under a security hold.
Homicide detectives were sent about 3:55 p.m. Thursday, Oct. 11, to the 30900 block of 106th Street in an area known as Juniper Hills, according to sheriff’s Deputy Morgan Arteaga. The property had a burned-out structure and car on it.
The sheriff’s department did not disclose how the remains came to light and did not say if the grisly find was related to the disappearance of two men and a woman in the same area in January.
A $20,000 reward was offered by the Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors in April for information in the case of the three, who went missing in January and were presumed dead after they disappeared.
Jose Lara, 65; Cuauhtemoc Lara, 39; and 49-year-old Julieta Arvizu left behind what seemed to be all their possessions, according to authorities.
The elder Lara’s vehicle was found abandoned on Feb. 5 in Littlerock, where all three lived. Their cell phones were turned off and had not been used since the date they vanished.
Supervisor Kathryn Barger, who recommended the reward, said the families of those missing were in contact with investigators and devastated by the turn of events.
Sheriff’s homicide detectives are asking anyone with any information about the case to call them at 323-890-5500.
Anonymous tips can be submitted through Crime Stoppers by calling (800) 222-TIPS (8477) or at lacrimestoppers.org.

By the way the family had What you called Speculation and See The worst was true..Its just actually getting someone to do there job that seems to be the problem..Hey did they ever arrest those guys that were raping under age girls all the while videoing what happened at supposed High school parties and than post it around the High Schools??Answer No!
Instead they close case after case and boxed up all the evidence and shipped it to a warehouse with the rest of all other unsolved cases..
Mars says
Mars has a say..I’m sorry Did the police actually do there job..?.? Also I’m with Fave..Big time drug route..I’m surprised Tim Your the tool man and usually knows whats going on in the AV..Your age got you inside too much..No Offense I’m inside too much because its safer..Can I get an Amen..Nah I’m not that religious..

They got murdered at the orders of a Mexican drug cartel lieutenant who lives in Quarters Hill. The Hernandez gang spilled the beans. They were talking too much about cartel business. Little Rock is a major drug route. Fourty percent of the people that live in Little Rock are cartel members that guard that drug route.

Tune in later for another wild fantasy adventure with Dingbat Dave, cartel confidant.
DEA says
What is your theory regarding this case?
Tim Scott says
Don’t have one. Given the available information any theory at this point is just wild speculation. Or like anything else it can be fitted into Dingbat Dave’s “cartel is everywhere but my posse of senior citizens is on the case” fantasy.

This was probably a love triangle that went wrong. Other wise stuff would have been stolen from them-
I really do like Tim Scott says
“Ding Bat Dave”? your starting to sound like Trump and his elementary grade school name calling. Come on Tim, I’ve come to expect better than that from you!
Tim Scott says
I’ll try to do better, but people like this David_Davis that just post the same nonsensical blather every time they post wear me down. I mean, it is so far out there that there’s no way to approach it other than an outright dismissive put-down. Can’t match witicisms with a guy who just drily reports a crazy fantasy as if it were fact, and clearly he either really is living in this strange reality he is presenting or he is making it up just to be annoying so there’s no path to reason with him.

I have a theory for y’all; three people are dead under suspicious circumstances, and that will probably be the last we know.
