BURBANK, Calif. (AP) - Skeletal remains found near a hiking trail in a Los Angeles suburb have been confirmed as human.

A hiker reported discovering apparent human remains on April 22 in the Verdugo Mountains above a neighborhood in Burbank, police said in a statement Monday.

A county coroner’s investigator determined the remains were human, but potential identification of the person could take several months to a year, police said.
