CRESTLINE, Calif. (KABC) -- Coroner's officials released the identity of a woman whose body was discovered buried in a Crestline cave after someone saw a hand sticking out of the ground.

San Bernardino County coroner's investigators identified the woman as 32-year-old Jessica Widner of Lake Arrowhead

Thursday night, a report came in regarding a human hand extending from the ground near a glass bottle dumping ground.

Sheriff's deputies found the body inside a small cave dug about 8 feet into a hillside.

Investigators said it appears part of the cave may have collapsed and buried the woman, whose body was recovered on Friday.
