Forensics tests are being done to determine the identity of a dead woman found early this afternoon.
Her body was found at around 1:30 Friday afternoon in an orchard off of Bradford and Hart Raods about 5 miles east of Delano. Delano Police are investigating, along with the Sheriff's Department to determine if the body may be that of a missing 21 year old Delano woman. Maggie Bermudez has been missing since Monday.
Where is Delano??? What STATE?
In topics: US: California.
Looks like California
She probably knocked on the door of a Kerry supporter.
I am so so so sick of these Kerry thugs.
Time to raise this death to martyrdom to get out the vote?
Pretty wierd, I even viewed the video and they managed to never say which State it was in, Near Bakersfield so i suspect california.
Its amazing people on the internet seem to think every thing is local.
Probably not the Campaign worker, because she's only been missing since Monday (presumabley that means a week) and this body was too de-composed to even determin gender according to the sherrif.
Sorry Delano is in California near Bakersfield!
What?!
Stop it. My family lives in Tulare County.
Delano is in central California. Agriculture area, lots of illegals.
I believe that the body was burned beyond recognition.
Delano is where I was born. :)
KernFarmer...we used to farm at corner of Brockman and Spangler and at corner of Brockman and Hart.
Do I know you???
Body Burned?
Thats not what the Sherrif said in the streaming video....
He said decomposed.
May well have just been "Carefull words".
Who knows I have lived in Shafter all my life! But it is a small world!
Those of us who live near there, which I do, will never forget Chavez believe me.
You are correct this may not be related to the missing Republican workers but it was the way the story was introduced early on. Needless to say there are two kids missing either way!
why?
Local news said the farmworkers who found her said that the body was severely burned...but that the sheriff's office had not commented on the state of the body other than to say that the body would be id'd by dental records.
Who knows.
Graduated in 1970...dated lovely Shafter boys way back when!
:)
Shafter used to have a cute little airport, if I'm not mistaken. Good old oilpatch area.
With great air shows!
I was living in Pleasant Hill, and doing some of my shopping at the Berkeley Coop. They had 'Viva La Raza" & "Support the Boycott" signs all over inside & outside. Since they wouldn't carry the boycotted grapes, I made it a point to stop at a store that did, and buy them anyway.
"Shafter Boys"... hmmm...
You ladies sure got sidetracked on that name. Remember that when you catch us men talking about women's butts. ;)
Just a puppy!
:)
:)
I've always liked the differences! I've never complained!
:D
Golly, I lived there during part my childhood, 1960 - 1965. Lots of illegals, and we lived in the poor area of town. I was one of only a handful of Anglos in my elementary school, lots of discrimination against us, it wasn't easy. This is why I have a hard time when people assume only white folks can be racists.
Freemont...
My parents live in Tulare County too!
I believe Delano is in Georgia.
It is the town where all of Stuart Woods' characters come from.
Where at? My mom is in Tulare proper. We're probabaly cousins!
This is why we're going in 2-3 person buddy system get out the vote this weekend. I've already encountered a tall creepy man who stuck his face two inches from my face and gave me the creepiest feral grin, not once but twice to intimidate me. I just grin back at him. Then we were followed into a restaurant by two other creeps monitoring us. Always saw this sort of thing on TV but never imagined I would actually experience commiesque tactics. Charming people, those commie liberals (not)
phone home...
self ping
Delano?
The only thing notable about Delano is it houses a state prison.
That's it, I couldn't remember the name...its been so many years. The best teacher I ever had was at that school.
May God be merciful and lift Maggie Bermudez up to the Light of His countenance, and may perpetual Light shine upon her.
...and it's building a new one.
Thanks
How sad!
Someone else said CA since it said near Bakersfield, unless one of those in GA, but thanks.
Damn it.

Very tragic, very troubling
PING
Sad, and scary. Going door-to-door is an extremely dangerous venture for young women in this day and age.
May this poor girl rest in peace.
Republican GOTV worker found murdered in California, confirmed in post 46.
What scum. May they catch the guy or woman who did this and make sure he never takes a breath of fresh air from this planet ever again.
