Body Of Missing Teen Found In Abandoned Vehicle Near Victorville Home Depot
VICTORVILLE (CBSLA) — The body of a 14-year-old Victorville girl has been found in an abandoned vehicle near a Home Depot in Victorville, authorities said Tuesday.
San Bernardino County sheriff's deputies were sent Monday morning to check on a report of a possibly deceased person in a field west of Home Depot, 15655 Roy Rogers Drive in Victorville. The deputies found a girl's body in an abandoned vehicle, and from her fingerprints identified her as 14-year-old Genevieve Brinson.
Genevieve, who had run away in 2020 from a group home in the Riverside County community of Calimesa, had been reported missing on Feb. 25, authorities said. The investigation determined Genevieve had been living in the abandoned vehicle with a friend.
