Buried body in Norwalk
L.A. County sheriff's detectives are investigating the death of a woman whose partially burned body was discovered buried in an abandoned lot in Norwalk over the weekend.

A jogger notified authorities after noticing a foul smell coming from a patch of ground near an abandoned home Saturday morning on the 11000 block of Norwalk Boulevard, KTLA reported.

Investigators found the woman's body in a shallow grave. They believe the body had been left there within the past few days.
