Skeletal human remains found near New Mexico's Baylor Canyon

LAS CRUCES, N.M. (AP) — Dona Ana County Sheriff's detectives say they're investigating the discovery of skeletal human remains near the Baylor Canyon area of the Organ Mountains.
They say a hiker made the discovery Friday evening.
Sheriff's detectives responded and began an initial investigation of the area, locating some personal effects and a backpack near the remains.
They say documents found inside the backpack might help identify the remains, which were transported Saturday to the New Mexico Office of the Medical Examiner.
