Human Head found in backpack
A human head believed to be that of a white or Hispanic girl that was found on Lenwood Road Feb. 9 just west of Tortoise Road has not yet been identified, and her killer is still unknown.
“We haven’t had any promising new leads,” said Sgt. Andy Espinoza Sr. “They all dried up, there is just nothing there that would give anything to add (to the investigation).”
Espinoza said the police department has been in contact with an FBI task force that monitors possible serial killers that travel along the interstates in hopes of finding a suspect.
The head was found by a man looking for cans, and was wrapped in plastic bags bearing the Fiesta Foods and Walgreens names inside a black backpack.

Missing hiker found in canyon
Search and rescue crews found a hiker Thursday morning who had been missing in Joshua Tree National Park for almost a week. “He was conscious when the rescuers found him and was talking with them, but he does have some injuries and some exposure issues,” park spokesman Joe Zarki said.
The hiker — Edward H. Rosenthal, 64, of Culver City — was airlifted to Hi-Desert Medical Center in Joshua Tree, Zarki said.
Rescuers found Rosenthal about 6 to 7 miles south of the original search area, which was a few miles from the campground where he set out for a hike Friday afternoon. Rosenthal was reported missing to park rangers Sunday.
“He's quite a ways from where the primary search area was back on Monday and Tuesday,” Zarki said. “He got into a very deep canyon and was just working his way down.”
Zarki said Rosenthal was found in the East Wide Canyon area, which is about 5 to 6 miles east-northeast of Desert Hot Springs and about 2 miles inside the park's southern boundary.
Rescuers had found tracks in the area Wednesday, Zarki said.
“They followed those tracks yesterday to a point where they lost the trail, so they went back this morning,” Zarki said. “They found him not far from there.”

Off Road Race Saftey
In a tragic accident during an off road race in Lucerne Valley California this past weekend , Eight people lost their lives as a Trophy Truck lost control and careened into the crowd of spectators.
This has brought about much attention as to who is to blame, First , let me be Clear, This is NOT the fault of the driver !, These people were crowded within a few feet of a dangerous jump on the course. The possibility of a crash in this area of the course was extremely HIGH ! This is why this crowd chose this area to watch the race, They were hoping to see a crash or two,
Mr Sloppy, The driver of the truck must now find a way to live with this, He too is a Victim.
The responsibility of these deaths lies solely with the those who died. They were too close !
