Human remains have been found in a remote part of Plumas County.

The Plumas County Sheriff’s Office said a private logging company reported the discovery of the remains northeast of the small town of Cromberg on Friday.

Investigators confirmed that the remains were human but said a positive identification was not currently possible due to “advanced decomposition.”

DNA analysis and other methods will be used to try to identify the person.

The sheriff’s office is asking anyone with information related to this case to contact its investigations unit at 530-283-6363.
