A woman reported missing for several days was found stabbed to death in a minivan by family members who were called by police to pick up the vehicle because it was illegally parked near Pomona Superior Court, authorities said Monday.
Relatives found the body of Eileen Orta, 22, on Friday, three days after filing a missing person's report on her, Lt. Ron McDonald said.
The report gave a full description of Orta and the van, and was entered into a national law enforcement database, he said.
When the van was found parked in a space reserved for a police official near the courthouse, police notified Orta's family to pick it up before it was impounded.
No one apparently looked inside the vehicle. Orta's mother said that when she checked the van she discovered her daughter's body buried under blankets, clothing and other objects.
