The Colorado Bureau of Investigation and local police agencies identified the suspect as Adre Jordan Baroz, a convicted felon. They said a homicide warrant has been issued for his arrest and that he goes by the nickname \u201cPsycho.\u201d<\/p>\n

Searches last week uncovered the skeletal remains of three people on two properties near Las Sauces, a tiny community outside the small city of Alamosa, more than 200 miles south of Denver, Conejos County Sheriff Garth Crowther said. None of the remains have been identified.<\/p>\n

Authorities declined to comment about how Baroz, 26, may be connected to the discovery of the remains. They said he is commonly known as \u201cPsycho\u201d in the area but did not elaborate.<\/p>\n

Alamosa Police Chief Ken Anderson told reporters that authorities consider Baroz armed and dangerous and that any sightings should be reported to police.<\/p>\n

Authorities from at least four sheriff\u2019s offices, police departments in Colorado\u2019s San Luis Valley agricultural region and state investigators have formed a task force to investigate.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe San Luis Valley is very small. It\u2019s a tight-knit community,\u201d Anderson said. \u201cMost of us have grown up here. \u2026 We\u2019re just trying to keep the community safe right now.\u201d<\/p>\n

It was not known if any of the remains are linked to any missing-persons cases in the region, which borders New Mexico, said George Dingfelder, police chief of the community of Monte Vista.<\/p>\n

Dingfelder said authorities got a search warrant for a property near Las Sauces, found human remains there and then found more on a nearby property.<\/p>\n

Identification could take weeks, if not months, and it isn\u2019t known whether the remains are male, female, what age they may be or how long they were at the properties, Dingfelder said.<\/p>\n

Authorities are still searching the second property \u201cto ensure all remains and all evidence is found,\u201d Crowther said.<\/p>\n

Baroz is from the town of Sanford, near Las Sauces, Anderson said. He has a criminal history in Colorado that includes assault on a peace officer, attempted escape and theft, according to state court records. Baroz also has open criminal cases against him that include several drug charges, possession of a weapon by a felon and assault.<\/p>\n

\u201cOur priority is to get him into custody and identify the remains,\u201d said John Camper, deputy director of the Colorado Bureau of Investigation.<\/p>\n
