A family Easter egg hunt in DeForest Park, Long Beach, California, turned grim when members discovered what appeared to be possible human remains of a small child on Sunday, April 5. The Long Beach Police Department responded to the scene after receiving a call from the family. Officers found a skull and other bones amidst brightly colored Easter eggs, prompting an investigation. Lt. Benjamin Vargas from the police department stated that the process of confirming whether the remains are human is ongoing, and there is no fixed timeline for the investigation. Witness Marc Zaldana described the scene, noting the family's distress during the hunt. As of April 6, police are awaiting forensic findings from the medical examiner's office, which may take up to three weeks for identification if the remains are confirmed as human. However, if the remains are decomposed or skeletal, this process could extend significantly.
