Authorities have now released the name of a Central Coast woman they say is a murder victim, but still won’t talk about what they think happened.
Santa Barbara County Sheriff’s deputies were called to the 100 block of Goodwin Road in the unincorporated part of Santa Maria at around 7 a.m. Sunday by reports of an injured woman.
Officers arriving on the scene found the body of a woman.
She’s been identified as Elyse Marie Erwin of Santa Maria. Detectives aren’t talking about the cause of death, or what they think led to the killing of the 28 year old woman.
