KINGMAN, Ariz. (AP) - Authorities say they have found human remains in a remote area of the Arizona desert.

The Mohave County Sheriff's Office says its deputies discovered the remains Wednesday morning in Topock, a small town that lies between Bullhead City and Lake Havasu City in western Arizona.

A person who was working in the area discovered the remains and called officials.

They were taken to the Mohave County Medical Examiner's office for further investigation and DNA testing.
