Days after they went missing, rescuers have located the car of a Los Angeles couple mangled off a cliff in the National Forest northeast of the city.
It is believed that the two charred bodies found inside the burned-out car belonged to Sophia Edwards and Ethan Manzano, both 19.
The couple was last seen alive Thursday when they visited friends but failed to show up for work the following day.
“It is confirmed that that’s the vehicle that the two missing individuals were last seen in,” police said of the silver 2007 Isuzu Ascender found near Dawson Saddle Trail.
“The friends said their demeanor was normal, nothing out of character for them,” Det. Matthew Pereida said.
“They were an affectionate couple. They had a great time.”
As the investigation into the tragic fall continues, Manzano’s dad said that he felt something bad had happened to his son.
“I can’t believe I’m going to be burying my son. He’s only 19.”
