The body of Vilma Chau, 63, was discovered Thursday in a car parked in the 15000 block of Las Tunas Drive. She was the owner of the home where she was found.
Chau's family had gone to check on her when they didn't hear from her. Neighbors say something at the home looked suspicious Wednesday night.
"At 2 a.m., the lights were still on all the way around the house, and that was suspicious because she usually turns them off at about 11. Everybody knows the system of what goes on around here, so when something strange like that happens, you wonder," said neighbor Renny Garcia Cano.
The victim's son, 43-year-old Clifton Huang, was arrested and booked at Industry Sheriff's Station for her murder. He is being held on $2 million bail. He is due in court Sept. 3.
