Man is arrested in homicide investigation into Huntington Beach woman’s death
A man was arrested Saturday in connection with a homicide investigation into the death of a woman whose body was found Friday afternoon in her Huntington Beach home, police said.
The Orange County coroner’s office identified her as 50-year-old Marylou Sarkissian.
Jason Becher, 41, was arrested in Oregon, Huntington Beach police said. No other information was immediately released.
Becher had been sought as a possible suspect since Sarkissian was found dead at about 1 p.m. Friday in the 9000 block of Litchfield Drive after officers made a welfare check on her, police said. The cause of her death was not released.
Police said Saturday that Becher’s car, a white 2015 four-door Lexus ES320 with California license plate 7MZP290, had not been found.
Becher and Sarkissian knew each other, according to police, who said they had not confirmed the nature of their relationship.
Anyone with information about the case is asked to call the Huntington Beach police information hotline at (714) 375-5066 or Orange County Crime Stoppers at (855) 847-6227.
