The body of a missing California woman hasꩲ been discovered inside an abandoned U-Haul, according𒆙 to officials.
Ashley Manning, 29 — who went missing nearly two months ago — was found dead wrapped in cardboard, plastic wrap and duct tape Friday at a Fullerton storage facility, .
Heꩲr family reported her missing after not hearing from her following a flight Nov. 13 from Dallas to Los Angeles.
Police sai♒d the U-Haul truck was rented by an unidentified person who left the vehicle abandoned in Anaheim.
When the truck wasn’t returned, the company tracked down the vehicle and brought it back to the storage facility, police said.
“After they recovered the truck, they brought it here to the Fullerton location to do an inventory of the contents of the truck,” Anaheim Police 💙Sg꧂t. Shane Carringer told the outlet. “During that inventory search, they discovered what they believed to be human remains, and it has been confirmed that it is human remains.”
No cause of death was immediatel🔜y provided, but authorities are investigating the death as suspicious.
“We are no💯t calling it a homicide yet,” Carringer said. “It’s obviously a suspicious death, and the circumstances in which the body was found are certainly suspicious, but we’re going to treat it as if it could potentially be a homicide.”

“As a family we are trying to navigate this tragedy and this extremely hard time,” the post said.
