Human bones, possibly those of a small adult or teen-ager, were discovered by a hiker in the Angeles National Forest over the weekend and turned over for possible identification and a determination of time and cause of death to the coroner’s office, a Sheriff’s Department spokesman said. The human remains were found Saturday morning in a ravine just off the Angeles Crest Highway, about 10 miles north of the La Canada-Flintridge area. According to sheriff’s homicide investigators, the advanced decomposition of the bones indicate that they had been there for an extended period, the spokesman added.
