Additional human remains were recovered from a southern California shoreline near the site where a vessel capsized earlier this week, authorities said.

Palos Verdes Estates Police officers responded on Christmas Day morning to reports of a human leg spotted on the shoreline.

On Thursday, officers responded to the shoreline again after a second human leg and a femur were found.

    The vessel overturned near the rocky shoreline on Dec. 23. The two fishermen who were aboard were not found.

    In a separate incident, a human skull and bones were found in the same area a month earlier.

    It is currently unclear whether the recent remains are linked to that incident.
