The body of a woman that washed ashore in Santa Barbara County last week has been identified as that of a San Diego woman missing for more than a month.
The body of Rachael Bowers, 41, was found Friday on a beach in Carpinteria, more than 200 miles north of San Diego. She had been reported missing March 8, two days after she had dropped off her children at her mother-in-law's house in La Jolla.
Because the body had been in the ocean for a prolonged period, the cause of death remained undetermined, said San Diego police homicide Lt. Mike Hurley.
