☛ TS Suspected homicide victim died of gunshot wound

A suspected homicide victim from San Francisco, whose body was found near Alderpoint last week, died of a gunshot wound, the Humboldt County Sheriff's Office reported Thursday.
Authorities are still working to uncover the details of how 35-year-old Reetpaul Singh Rana died, and are withholding additional information about the investigation.
Rana's body was found Saturday in a wooded area along Dyerville Loop Road, near Alderpoint. The body was found nearly 100 miles from the burned-out remains of his light-blue 1996 SAAB four-door sedan, which was found along the north side of Big Lagoon, Sept. 10.
According to Humboldt County Sheriff's Office Lt. George Cavinta, the body appeared to have been dumped in the area. County Coroner Frank Jager said the man likely died about four or five days before he was discovered.

☛ TS Woman's body recovered from Eel River

Authorities are investigating the suspicious death of a 48-year-old Fortuna woman, who was found in the Eel River Tuesday afternoon, Humboldt County Deputy Coroner Charles Comer said Wednesday.
The body of Rosemarie Voyd was found in the water along the bank of the Eel River, near the River Lodge in Fortuna. But Comer said “it's not obviously a drowning. We're considering it a suspicious death.”
According to Comer, a man was said to have been drinking with Voyd along the river bank the night before she was found. Lt. George Cavinta of the Humboldt County Sheriff's Office said that man has been interviewed by law enforcement, but is not being detained at this time.
