Human remains were discovered Saturday on Mount Baldy, the San Bernardino County Sheriff’s Department said.

Hikers discovered the remains around 10 a.m., the Sheriff’s Department said in a statement. Positive identification of the remains is set for this week, the alert added.

It was not immediately known whether the remains belong to actor Julian Sands, 65, who vanished in January in the Mount Baldy area.

Another search for the actor occurred June 17 but did not yield any findings.

“We continue to hold Julian in our hearts with bright memories of him as a wonderful father, husband, explorer, lover of the natural world and the arts, and as an original and collaborative performer,” Sands’ family said in a statement following the latest search.

Sands, of North Hollywood, was reported missing in the Baldy Bowl area in the San Gabriel Mountains on Jan. 13, officials have said.
