Woman's Body Washes Up On Russian River Shore In Guerneville

GUERNEVILLE (CBS/AP) -- The fully-clothed body of a woman has washed up on a Russian River beach in Northern California.

The San Francisco Chronicle said the body was found face-down on Sunday in an area below a foot bridge that passes over the river in Guerneville, which is 70 miles north of San Francisco.

Sonoma County sheriff's violent crimes detectives are investigating the death because of the suspicious nature of the case.

The name of the woman, estimated to be in her 30s, hasn't been released.
