Weeks before O.C. decomposed body ID'd

By ABC7
SANTA ANA, Calif. Investigators are waiting for DNA test results, but say the woman may be 22-year-old Rebekah Butterfield, the missing daughter of the vehicle's owner.

Clarence Butterfield, 55, has been charged with murder. He is currently in jail in Las Vegas for an unrelated case.

Butterfield could be back in Orange County later this month if he doesn't fight extradition to California.
