A dog may have led authorities to suspected human remains over the weekend in unincorporated Palmdale. The Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department got a call for service Sunday around 12:22 p.m. near 124th Street East and Pearblossom Highway, according to sheriff's department spokesperson Miesha McClendon. Someone had called deputies about their dog finding a human skull, McClendon said. She didn't have further details about how many human remains were found or the circumstances of the death.
