Late Tuesday evening, November 26, 2013, Los Angeles County Sheriff's Homicide detectives responded to a rural area of Alpine, San Diego County, to investigate the circumstances surrounding the death of a woman. 
 
Detectives investigating a missing person were led to a remote area in San Diego County where an 81-year-old woman was discovered deceased and determined to be the missing person. The woman was reported missing from Maywood on November 15, 2013, by concerned family members.
