The body of a 53-year-old woman reported missing in San Bernardino County was discovered on the 60 Freeway earlier this month, officials announced Wednesday.
Authorities say the woman, now identified as Chino resident Lisa Culp, reportedly left her home early on the morning of Oct. 4. She was reported missing by her husband at 9:13 a.m. the same morning when she failed to return, a news release from the Chino Police Department stated.
Though there were no immediate signs that the 53-year-old was at risk or in danger, police searched local jails, hospitals, parks and reached out to her friends and relatives.
Culp’s vehicle, which had been entered into a statewide database for a missing person’s bulletin, was discovered abandoned at a gas station in the area of Central Avenue and the 60 Freeway.
“Chino Police personnel reviewed surveillance footage from the area and observed Culp walking away from the gas station in the early morning hours of October 4 and heading northbound on Central Avenue,” police said.
