A body was discovered in a barrel caught in the mud of the lake&#8217;s receding coastline on May 1st.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Lake Mead, the country&#8217;s largest reservoir, provides drinking water to 20 million <a href=\"https:\/\/web.facebook.com\/DailyRapidNews\">people <\/a>from Las Vegas to Los Angeles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As the lake recedes, police predict that more bodies will be discovered.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Lake Mead levels have been falling since 2000, and droughts have become more severe in recent years, with scientists claiming that climate change is compounding the problem.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">According to investigators, the body discovered by boaters last week belongs to a person who was tragically shot in the 1970s or 1980s.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The period was determined by the victim&#8217;s clothes and shoes, which were offered at Kmart stores at the time, according to Las Vegas murder detective Lt Ray Spencer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">More investigation is being done on the rusted metal of the barrel in order to find more evidence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">After the first discovery, Lt Spencer told CBS News in Las Vegas, &#8220;It&#8217;s going to be a very challenging case.&#8221; &#8220;I believe there is a very good likelihood that as the water level drops, we will find more human remains.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And that forecast came true this weekend.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Lake Superior is patrolled by the National Park Service.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8220;The investigation is still underway. At this moment, no additional information is available &#8220;According to a press release from the park,<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Hoover Dam, which is located on the Nevada-Arizona state line, was built in the 1930s to create Lake Mead.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The gruesome finds come as the lake reaches its lowest point since it was first filled.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Water levels at Lake Mead dropped low enough last month to expose a water intake valve that has been serving consumers in the region since 1971.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Researchers found in February that the drought in the US southwest is the worst in at least a millennium.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Droughts aren&#8217;t always caused by climate change, but excessive heat in the sky is sucking more moisture out of the ground.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Just one week after the body of a suspected murder victim was discovered in the<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":15782,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"spay_email":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[24],"tags":[622],"class_list":["post-15781","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-blogs","tag-human-remains"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v18.4.1 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Human remains are revealed in Lake Mead as the reservoir shrinks.<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Human remains are revealed in Lake Mead as the reservoir shrinks.
