Butte County investigators are attempting to determine what caused the death of a woman whose body was found in a rugged Sierra foothills canyon after wild animals had mangled and eaten portions of it. Sheriff’s deputies located the body of Lucy Dunton, 51, of Sacramento during an aerial search, Assistant Sheriff Mick Grey said. The remains were in Butte Creek Canyon, about 2,000 yards from where Dunton’s slippers and coat had been found earlier. She had been missing for nine days.
