Murder mystery after five skeletons found in Arizona desert

PHOENIX -- Five people whose skeletal remains were found in a remote Arizona smuggling corridor are thought to have been homicide victims from Mexico or Central America who were shot or beaten to death, authorities said on Tuesday.

"We believe that they are the remains of five foreign nationals who were killed either there or somewhere else and put in that location," he added.

Arizona straddles a well-trafficked corridor for human and drug smugglers from Mexico. While deaths are not uncommon among border crossers, they are mostly caused by heat exposure in the summer months.
