Car, bones found in search for Calif. mom missing 3 years

SUNDALE, Calif. --The car of a southern California mother missing three years and human bones were found Sunday, reports the Los Angeles Times.

Megan Sue DiPiazza, 33, of La Crescenta reportedly vanished Nov. 11, 2012, after leaving a note in her apartment saying "goodbye to her family," police said at the time. She had recently separated from her husband, who told CBS LA at the time that she was upset the last time he saw her because they had argued about their marriage.

Investigators at the time found the note and her purse at the couple's Sunland home, and said there was no suspicious activity surrounding the disappearance.

Sunday, a man hiking on a trial in the Angeles National Forest found the woman's car, as well as her identification card, about 500 feet down a ravine, Glendale police told the paper.

Detectives on Monday reportedly found a photo of DiPiazza and her family and credit cards in the car, which had the key in the ignition. They also reportedly found multiple human bones.

Glendale police and Los Angeles County coroner's officials were investigating.
