The Lower Mainland Integrated Tactical Team is continuing to search the area where human remains were found yesterday in Richmond.
RCMP Corporal Sherrdean Turley explains.
"The search is being done simply to ensure that nothing is left behind that may assist us with the investigation. At this time it's not known how long the search will take, but I imagine we will be out there for quite some time."
The skeletal remains will soon undergo analysis from a forensic anthropologist.
They were discovered by a work crew surveying the area.
