When Lake Mead hits new lows, its waters unveil mysteries. Last time, it revealed a murder case that is still unsolved | CNN

Lake Mead’s renewed plunge to record lows is exposing more evidence—and more unanswered questions—along the Nevada-Arizona shoreline. After the reservoir hit a record low of 1,040.5 feet days earlier, a man searching through rocks at the water’s edge on August 16 found a jagged jawbone with yellowed teeth, according to KLAS. Additional slender, curved bones were reportedly collected soon after, and the Clark County Coroner’s Office says it will work to identify the person and determine the cause of death. Park officials are investigating but do not believe the remains were the result of a crime. Drought previously helped uncover the unsolved “Hemenway Harbor Doe” homicide from May 1, 2022.
