OC Couple Missing Since Mother's Day Found - Husband Dead, Wife Severly Dehydrated

It appears an Anaheim couple who went missing on Mother’s Day became lost in the remote Warner Springs area of northeastern San Diego County and remained there for two weeks before an off-road enthusiast found the man dead and the woman in serious condition inside their car, a sheriff’s lieutenant said today.

Sixty-eight-year-old Dianna Bedwell was transported to a hospital for treatment after she and her deceased husband were discovered on the Los Coyotes Indian Reservation at 2:30 p.m. Sunday, said San Diego County sheriff’s Lt. Kenneth Nelson. She was severely dehydrated, said a private investigator for the family.
