It's Saturday afternoon, 1600 and its 104 degrees in the shade in Barstow. A request for the Barstow Desert Rescue Squad comes in for a hasty team to assist in an investigation this side of Baker. 

An hour later we hit the Zzyzx exit with the temperature  now over 112.  The quads are unloaded and a grid search is started to the North.  A typical off-the-freeway-dump-your-trash location, and some remains of an old highway.  The search area consists of washes, hills and a unique sandy area with waist high weeds.  After hours of searching some items were located that will hopefully be helpful in the investigation. 

Read the press release for this incident.
