Missing Persons FOUND - Cecil Knutson and Dianna Bedwell

Update:
A couple from Orange County who went missing after leaving Valley View Casino May 11th has been found. An Off-Road enthusiast happened upon the couple's car in a remote area of the Los Coyotes Indian Reservation (Warner Springs) on May 24th. The car was stranded along a dirt road.

Dianna Bedwell was rescued and taken to a hospital. She told Sheriff's Deputies they became lost after leaving the casino while trying to find a shortcut to their son's home in Riverside County. A man's body was also found in the car. Detectives do not suspect foul play at this time. The Medical Examiner's Office will identify the body, as well as determine the cause and manner of death.
