Missing woman found dead in car
WHITTIER - A woman was found dead in the back seat of a car early this morning, deputies said.
The grisly discovery was made about 2:20 a.m. in the 11700 block of Santa Gertrudes Avenue which is in the unincorporated county area of Whittier.
Sheriff's Sgt. Raul Gama said people passing by noticed a strange smell and saw the body in the back of the vehicle. He said it could be connected to a missing person's case out of Pico Rivera.
There were no details released on the missing person.
Sheriff's Homicide Bureau, which also handles missing persons, is investigating the case. Detectives couldn't be reached for comment this morning.
Coroner's officials haven't identified the body yet and haven't determined how long the body had been in the car before being discovered.
