This case is neither in DoeNet, nor NamUs. So I am putting it up here.
I found it in an online listing of Northern California unsolved homicides.

ETA: There are three other Doe cases listed that don't appear to be in NamUs or DoeNet, but there is not enough info on them to start a thread.
But for this one, the description on the listing reads as follows:
There are also links to several news articles.

Trapper Danial Genaro of Lakehead and his 19-year-old daughter, Samantha, found the bones near a shallow gravesite Dec. 3. They were setting fox traps in an area off Dog Creek Road north of Lakehead. The disturbed grave was discovered near a fire access road less than five miles from the Dog Creek Road exit on Interstate 5.
Genaro said he first noticed handcuffs on the ground and then saw what appeared to be a grave that a bear had dug up.

"We're surmising it's not an extremely old site, but the exact months or time element, I couldn't even tell you," [Shasta County sheriff's Sgt. Jim] Mize said.

Human remains discovered in a makeshift grave near Lakehead in December are those of a white man who is believed to have been murdered, a Shasta County sheriffs sergeant said Wednesday.
The bones, skull fragments and bits of dark colored hair are those of a man between 20 and 50 years old and between 5 feet, 2 inches and 5 feet, 7 inches tall, said sheriffs Sgt. Jim Mize.

Although no cause of death has been established, Mize said other circumstances led investigators to believe the man was murdered.
He said investigators believe that the gravesite was relatively fresh.
We dont know if the body was dumped or if it happened right there, Mize said.
But the remains do not match any missing persons reported locally and detectives have notified other law enforcement agencies of the victims description.
