The Napa County Sheriff's Department say that a body found on Monticello Road near Lake Berryessa may be that of missing Solano County woman Phuong Le.

According to a friend of Le, the missing woman's family heard media reports about a body that was found and traveled to the scene.

The Napa County Sheriff's Department was notified of a body found near Lake Berryessa Friday morning. After investigating, they called the Fairfield authorities to the scene.

So she was found at 9:30 AM. It took them all day to connect the dots.
 
Yeah, I checked the map to see how far north Lake Berryessa is in reference to Fairfield. Quite a ways out there...at least 20 miles.
