LOS ANGELES (AP) - The California Highway Patrol is investigating whether wreckage and a body spotted off the Pacific Coast Highway in San Luis Obispo County might involve a couple from Los Angeles who failed to return from a Christmas weekend trip.
CHP spokesman Officer Patrick Seebart tells the Los Angeles Times (https://lat.ms/2ixLEro ) the tan vehicle wreckage was found about 325 feet below the highway about 10 miles north of Hearst Castle.
A helicopter surveying the wreckage saw the bodies of a human and a dog outside the car.
Los Angeles police have been searching for 20-year-old Olivia Gonzalez and 21-year-old Brian Fernandez, who were last seen leaving for Big Sur Dec. 23 in a tan Honda Civic.
The wreckage is in a hard-to-reach area where it is raining, and it may be Wednesday before it is hoisted up to the highway.
