A murder investigation has been launched in Malibu, California after human remains were found inside a barrel at Malibu Lagoon State Beach on Monday.
A sanitation worker reportedly first noticed the black, plastic, 55-gallon drum bobbing in the lagoon at around 3pm on Sunday. He attempted to drag the drum back to shore after paddling out in a kayak to retrieve it, only for the tide to wash it back out to sea that night, according to CNN.
