Los Angeles police were called to the scene and determined the woman was dead. They believe the body had been in the area for a few days.
"A lot of people do come through here. Unfortunately, the location of the body was off the hillside on the actual brush, it wasn't on the roadside, so that's probably why it took a couple of days to discover it," Capt. Arturo Sandoval said.
The death was deemed suspicious, but are not calling it a homicide just yet.

The investigation is ongoing.
