Burned Body Found In Agua Dulce Dumpster

AGUA DULCE (CBS) -- A man's burned body was found in a dumpster in the Antelope Valley Wednesday morning.

The discovery was made at about 6:45 a.m. in a rural area in the 6800 block of Sierra Highway, sheriff's officials said. Authorities said they believe the body was left sometime Tuesday night.

"The trash company was about to take the trash from the dumpster when they discovered this individual inside the trash can," according to Detective Richard Ramirez of the L.A. County Sheriff's Department.

Residents in the area said they were horrified but not surprised that someone would choose this remote location to dump a body.

"I'm going to assume that it happened somewhere else and it was a convenient dumpster to get rid of a body, said Agua Dulce resident Georgia Swearingen. "It is pitch black, we have the lights ordinance so there are no lights on at night...and you can hear a pin drop so you hear everything that goes on - which is nothing."

Investigators said they don't have any missing person reports that match the description of the body. They believe the body was that of a Latino or African American man, between 18-25 years old.

The coroner will have to determine how he died.

Sheriff's homicide detectives and fire department arson investigators were sent to investigate the death. Detectives also brought a bloodhound to evaluate the scene.

Anyone with information on the case is urged to call the sheriff's department at (323) 890-5500, or Crime Stoppers at (800) 222-TIPS.

Miso sushi Review

Had some awesome food today at Miso Sushi, the crazy thing is that I don't even like sushi. But this place was great. Really reasonable to, you can easily leave full and get away with only spending 10 bucks. Which isn't common for a sushi place. Make sure to try the tempura vegetables, and the crispy shrimp roll. if you are like me and don't like sushi, their chicken is amazing!

Here is some more information on the fire that i posted about previously

AGUA DULCE, LOS ANGELES COUNTY (KABC) -- A small plane crashed in the Agua Dulce on Sunday evening, sparking a small brush fire in a remote area, fire officials said.

Officials said the plane had just taken off from the Agua Dulce Airport when it slammed into the rough terrain near Sierra Highway and Steele Street. Officials with the Los Angeles County Fire Department said it set off a 10-to 15-acre brush fire.

The pilot and passenger on board managed to crawl out of the burning wreckage and up to the top of the rugged ridge to call for help. The men were airlifted to Henry Mayo Newhall Memorial Hospital. Rescuers said the pilot was uninjured and his passenger suffered minor injuries.

"They are extremely lucky," said L.A. County Fire Capt. Mark Savage. "The plane immediately caught fire, they said. They scrambled out of the aircraft and climbed to safety."

Fire crews had contained about 30 percent of the fire by late Sunday night. Officials said they expected full containment by Monday morning.

Authorities will interview the men in the plane to determine the cause of the crash.
