A body found in a barrel at Lake Mead on Sunday may have been underwater for as long as four decades and more bodies are likely to appear as the lake recedes due to severe drought, according to Las Vegas Metro police.
Boaters discovered the body around 3 p.m. Sunday, KTLA sister station KLAS reported.
Police suspect the person was killed in the 1980s based on personal items in the barrel, Las Vegas Metro police homicide Lt. Ray Spencer said. He would not elaborate on the person’s cause of death or the items found, citing the ongoing investigation.
A photo shared with KLAS showed what looked like skeletal remains in the barrel. The barrel looked to have been stuck in the mud.
Lake Mead, located in both Nevada and Arizona, 24 miles east of Las Vegas, dropped below 1,056 feet in elevation last Tuesday, less than a week after hitting 1,057 feet the week before. Lake levels are expressed in altitude, not depth. At its highest levels, the lake is near 1,225 feet.

Jimmy Hoffa was from Brazil, Indiana (near Terre Haute).
I worked with his nephew (who looked just like a younger version of Jimmy) for two decades at General Motors. He was a great guy. The extended family really didn’t know what happened to him.

Relatives who have done the DNA test/history might show up. They just get close and they will find out who it is. Just like they do to solve crimes.

Was Geraldo on hand to open the barrel.
Don’t get caught skimming in Vegas, you might end up with a free barrel ride.
Parachute pants and corduroy tie.
I’ve seen several metal drums like that in the bottom of the Colorado River below Lake Mohave. I’ve always wondered who dumped them in the river and what may be inside?
Acid washed jeans and a bolo. And RayBans
Under the parking lot according to some documentary I saw on Fox.
My bet he was cremated in a mob friendly mortuary and ashes scattered to the wind.
