What started as a call of suspicious circumstances led to the discovery of a murder victim on the Central Coast.
Santa Barbara County Sheriff’s deputies were called to a house in the Vandenberg Village area at around 6:45 a.m. Saturday. They found the body of a woman at the home.
Detectives quickly identified a suspect. They arrested 46-year-old Brooke Carter, who apparently lives in both Lompoc and Oklahoma. Investigators say Carter knew the victim, but they aren’t talking about the relationship or what they think led to the killing. The don’t think anyone else was involved with the death.
Carter is being held in lieu of $2 million bail. The victim’s name hasn’t been released yet.
