Divers with the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Office said they found the body of 30-year-old Jennifer Michelle Lorber during a search on Thursday morning.
The remains were located about 225 yards away from the Malibu shoreline. A family member confirmed her identity with the Los Angeles County Department of Medical Examiner-Coroners Office on Thursday afternoon.
