The remains of a man who was shot in the head and buried in a shallow grave in the Arizona desert nearly 50 years ago have finally been identified. A group of hikers had stumbled across the body on 23 November 1976 while enjoying the hills northeast of Bullhead City in northwestern Arizona, near the border with Nevada. On Tuesday, the Mohave County Sheriff's Office named the dead man as Luis Alonso Paredes, originally from El Salvador, after a cold case investigation. But mystery remains as to who killed Paredes and how he ended up in the Arizona desert. Detectives have not yet been able to find any of the man's relatives, and are now seeking information from the public.
