Woman Drove Around With Corpse For Nearly a Year

COSTA MESA -- A woman drove around with a decomposing corpse for months before the body was discovered by police.

Officers made the gruesome discovery on Monday while responding to a report of an illegally parked car.

Police say the woman tried to cover the mummified corpse with pieces of clothing.

The car was blocking a driveway in the 2000 block of Tustin Avenue in Costa Mesa.

Officers could smell a foul odor coming from the car, and after seeing a leg underneath the clothing, broke a window to get access inside.

Inside the car, officers also found a box of baking soda that the driver used to try to dissipate the smell.

Costa Mesa police believe the body is that a transient woman in her 50's from Fountain Valley.

The driver of the car says she befriended the woman at a local park and allowed her to sleep in the car overnight.

When she found the woman had died, she continued to drive the car with the body, said Sgt. Ed Everett.

The driver told police she was afraid to contact police about the body, so she continued to drive the car.

An autopsy has revealed no obvious signs of foul play.

Officials believe the woman had been dead anywhere from three to 10 months, Everett said.

KFI Radio: Police said that all of the body’s fluids leaked onto the front floorboard of the car...

Maybe she thought it was radiator fluid.

Did she commute with her erstwhile friend in the HOV lane?

I’m not convinced. I think you ARE married to him

Or someone just like him.

Or WAS married to someone like him.

Hey Res 2nd, I’ve enjoyed some of your posts in the past but you know what, you’re a demented MF. I think YOU have the problem...you obviously have a problem with the mate in bed too. Advice about taking a bath applies to you too...and deodorant and the rest. Better yet...let’s get your mate on here and see how they feel about being compared to a corpse in bed. Come on o brave one.

Ah, come on sweetie.

You can do better than that. Go ahead. You have my permission. Tell me how you really feel about me (meaning husbands and men in general)

Go ahead - let loose. The mods won’t mind.

Well obviously this is a sensitive area for you. I think you must have problems (poor baby)...you know there are many aids available for you sweetheart. You can always call Bob Dole for advice (or watch the infomercials about your ‘particular problem’). My deepest sympathies to your mate.

Wow! Is that how you speak about the person you love?

Did you read and comprehend what that comment was? It deserved a vicious answer and I truly feel for whoever the spouse/significant other is in that home. Very sad.

I think Res 2nd finds you cute.....

Wouldn’t be more appropriate if the two of you took this over to Match.com?

I wish they had found her on November 3rd.

ACORN will probably get her registered to vote Democrat now.

This is Orange County, baby. And they don't fool around in Orange County. My mother died July 23, 2010, the election material came in the mail three weeks later and she got nothing! They'd already removed her from the rolls. They are on the ball in O.C.
