A 2nd barrel was found on May 2nd by the 8News Now I-Team, several hundred feet away from where the first one was discovered and was also along the shoreline. Holes in the barrel showed nothing inside.

Lieutenant Ray Spencer of the Homicide Unit for the LVMPD confirmed the barrel was empty.

The investigation continues and still no release on the identification of the human remains discovered on Sunday. The only released information is the individual is an adult male who was most likely murdered in the late 1970s to early 1980s. The time length was identified by the shoes the individual was wearing.

A group of philanthropists who paid for some cold cases in the Las Vegas area has paid for the expensive DNA test to identify the human remains found inside the barrel on the 1st of May. Since then a couple of retired police detectives have offered a reward of $50,000 for any human remains found inside Lake Mead.

NPS has reported multiple people “treasure hunting” within Lake Mead National Park and requests all people to leave “Treasures” in place and call authorities if human remains are found.

Police have reported receiving many tips concerning the case and the identification of the man murdered.

This is an open investigation and as such, more information will be released as it is received.
