Body misidentified--A body found Wednesday in a car in Mission Hills was incorrectly named in a Thursday article as being that of David Lodge. David Lodge is the investigator from the county medical examiner’s office who is looking into the death. The body found was that of Lance Penny, a 29-year-old man from San Diego.
Because there were marks on Lodge’s wrists suggesting that he had been bound, police believe he was dragged from the house to the car.
Police found John Andrews, 49, a resident of the house, wandering incoherently in the area. Andrews told police that Lodge and another man had accompanied him to his house Tuesday night. Andrews was taken to UC San Diego Medical Center.
