The Maricopa County Sheriff's Office is investigating human bones found in the northwest Valley.
An MCSO spokesperson said they received reports Tuesday evening after the remains were found in Surprise near El Mirage Road and Grovers Avenue. The bones were reportedly located by a hiker in the Agua Fria River bottom.
Initial scene examination does not show signs of foul play in the person's death, but the bones appear to have been washed down the river bottom from another location.
Our Det's are working a scene at El Mirage and Grovers in the west valley where human remains were found.
