A body was recovered from a canal near the area where a Stockton mother went missing after a dune buggy crash at the end of January, authorities said on Sunday.
Lupita Ontiveros has been missing after the California Highway Patrol said a dune buggy crashed into the Delta-Mendota Canal near Highway 140 at Gravel Pit Road in Merced County on Jan. 28.
Officers said the dune buggy entered the canal at about 10 mph amid poor visibility caused by darkness and dust.
The driver, identified as 21-year-old Elixandro Naranjo Miranda, and two passengers were able to reach the bank of the canal and climb out, but Ontiveros was unaccounted for, officers said.
On Sunday, the Merced County sheriff's office said a body was recovered about seven miles from the crash site.
"While investigators are hopeful that Lupita Ontiveros has been located, the identity of the decedent cannot be confirmed at this time," deputies said in a news release.
