Utah officials are working to find out whose remains were discovered in a West Valley City canal earlier this week.
On Sunday, a woman called West Valley City police to report that her children had spotted what appeared to be a shoe with a bone sticking out of it while playing at a canal near 2700 South and 2500 West, according to a Friday news release from police.
The woman told police that said her children — who had been with a group of kids ages 5 to 13 — had spotted the remains a week earlier, but had only just told her about it that day.
