Mr. Sandman Posted March 23, 2015 Share Posted March 23, 2015 (edited) My son gets update texts from the San Bernardino County Sheriff's Dept. and forwarded this info to me this afternoon. It sounds more like a murder/body dump than something happening at Dumont itself but it is disconcerting nonetheless. Mr. Sandman INCIDENT: PC 187 - Homicide Investigation LOCATION: State Highway 127 near mile marker 31, near Dumont Dunes SUSPECT(S): Unknown at this time VICTIM(S): Ernest Ortega Huerta, 39 year old resident of Baker SUMMARY: On Thursday, March 19, 2015, at approximately 8:23 a.m., Caltrans workers grading the shoulder of State Highway 127 near mile marker 31 discovered a deceased male, later identified as Ernest Ortega Huerta, deceased in the open desert. Officers from the California Highway Patrol and deputies from the San Bernardino County Sheriff's Department Baker Station responded to the location. Investigators from the Sheriff's Homicide Detail were requested to the location and assumed the investigation. Ernest Ortega Huerta's death has been determined to be a homicide and the investigation is ongoing. Investigators are asking anyone with information on his whereabouts and activities prior to his death to contact the Sheriff's Homicide Detail Detective Mike Walker or Sergeant Jason Radeleff at (909) 387-3589.

DirtBikeGuy Posted March 23, 2015 Share Posted March 23, 2015 They found the body near the little dunes. We had some friends that usually camp there and they would not let them in until the sheriff team was finished. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Landsandcrab Posted March 25, 2015 Share Posted March 25, 2015 Ugh. Bad mojo spilling over from Baker possibly. Maybe I'll start camping over at the big dunes.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
