Another court appearance in the Cori Desmond murder case
The Redondo Beach man believed responsible for the murder of a Torrance woman whose body was discovered along a mountain highway made his second court appearance Thursday.
Tony Lopez Perez, 35, appeared in San Bernardino Superior Court for a brief hearing, according to Susan Mickey, a spokeswoman for the District Attorney's Office in that county.
Perez will return to court Dec. 7.
He is charged with one count of murder for the Feb. 15 death of Cori Desmond. The 28-year-old was last seen alive in Redondo Beach after she left a bar.
Perez was allegedly linked to the crime when investigators found evidence in his truck, which an anonymous tipster said he was cleaning vigorously after Desmond's death.
