INDIO: Found body ends 2-year mystery


VICTIM(S): Carla Ruth Reyes (54 years at the time of her disappearance On October 27, 2015, the San Bernardino County Sheriff's Department Morongo Basin Station received notification from the Riverside County Coroner's Office in Indio regarding the recovery of human remains in their jurisdiction possibly related to a missing persons report out of the Morongo Basin area. The remains had been located inside the vehicle which Carla Ruth Reyes had reportedly been driving when she was reported missing on February 3, 2013, from the Yucca Valley area. The vehicle was located stuck in the sand in a remote area of the desert generally accessible only by four wheel drive vehicles. Hikers in the area were responsible for the discovery and subsequent notification to law enforcement. The Riverside County Coroner's Office conducted an autopsy on October 30, 2015, and was able to positively identify the remains as Carla Reyes. Additional investigation is being performed to try and determine the cause of death and for the time being the results are listed as "pending", but foul play did not appear to be a factor per the the Riverside County Coroner's Office.
