More human remains were found Thursday in the same area, near the 6800 block of Paseo del Mar, police told the outlet. After the leg was found on Christmas, police used dogs trained to detect human remains and scoured the area, NBC LA reported. Palos Verdes Estates is about 25 miles south of Santa Monica.
