Leads Sought in Death of Abducted Woman

Sheriff’s deputies were searching for leads Sunday in the kidnapping and murder of a 48-year-old Lynwood woman--a mother of four--who was accosted in the garage of her apartment complex and found dead hours later on a horse trail outside the city of Industry.

Witnesses said Teresa Soto Magana had arrived home from her job cleaning offices at about 3:30 a.m. Saturday and was forced into her 1987 Buick Somerset by two men who trapped her in the garage.

Sheriff’s spokeswoman Debra Glafkides said no motive had been determined.

Described as a caring mother who always had a hello, Magana shared the apartment with her husband and, until recently, two grown children, who married and moved away, neighbors said.
