November 27, 2014 (Julian)—A body has been found about a half mile from Pinezanita Campground, where Sally Estabrook vanished on October 4th.  Estabrook, who suffered from Alzheimer, triggered a massive search involving search and rescue teams from across Southern California. The Medical Examiner has confirmed that the deceased is Estabrook.

Yesterday afternoon, deputies responded to a radio call of a deceased person found in heavy shrubbery just off the roadway in the 200 block of Coulter Ridge Road in Julian.

Lieutenant John Maryon with the Sheriff’s homicide detail said, “It does not appear any foul play was involved.”

Cause of death will be determined by the Medical Examiner.

Estabrook was the mother-in-law of Dave Mustaine, lead singer in the band Megadeath.  ECM interviewed Mustaine on our radio show shortly after Estabrook's disappearance, when he expressed hope that she would be found safely.
