Body found in car trunk identified as that of missing Ontario man

A body found in the trunk of a car in Covina has been identified as that of a man reported missing 10 days ago in Ontario.

Victor Eduardo Mardueno, 25, called his girlfriend Sept. 23 to say he was leaving a friend's house to go to her place but never showed up, said Covina police Lt. Pat Buchanan.

When he didn't arrive, she called police.

Four days later a body was found in the trunk of the Toyota Camry he had been driving when he disappeared. It was parked in the 1000 block of East Wanamaker Drive in Covina.

Neighbors had called police to report that the car had been sitting there for several days, Buchanan said.
