On May 1st, 1968, the Humboldt County Sheriff’s Office (HCSO) received a letter in the mail indicating a human skull had been found near Berry Summit.  Several detectives and then Sheriff Gene Cox responded to the scene. It was reported two teenagers had been playing in a pile of rocks on 04-28-68 when they found the skull on the east side of Berry Summit. The scene was searched, and additional remains were located. Detectives learned the area where the skull was located had been used by Granite Construction in 1965 for storage of debris from the 1964 flood.
