"Arrests Made in Connection with 6 Bodies Found in Southern California Desert"

Authorities have made arrests in connection with the investigation of six bodies found in the southern California desert last week. The San Bernardino county sheriff’s department has described it as an "active and ongoing" homicide investigation, but has not released details on how the people died. The bodies were found in the Mojave desert outside El Mirage, with reports suggesting gunshot wounds and signs of burning. The area is so remote that the sheriff’s department called in help from the California highway patrol’s aviation division to locate the scene.
