Authorities find 2nd body inside N. Calif. home

HERCULES, Calif. — Authorities have found another body inside the Northern California home where a 73-year-old man was found bludgeoned to death last month.

A Hercules police spokesman says investigators are gathering evidence and have not yet determined the identity of the body found Thursday. Ricardo Sales was found dead in the home on Aug. 28. His son, Frederick Sales, also has been missing.

Police have been searching a nearby landfill over concerns that Frederick Sales could be the fifth victim of murder suspect Efren Valdemoro. Valdemoro was shot and killed by officers after a high-speed chase last month. After the shooting, officers found the body of his girlfriend, Cindy Tran, in his car.

Police are also investigating a possible link in the discovery of the bodies of two women found in a Vallejo house.
