Overview
- A 911 call just before noon Wednesday led deputies and volunteer rescue crews to the 9000 block of Dyerville Loop Road, where teams recovered a 34-year-old woman from a roughly 20-foot well.
- The Southern Humboldt Technical Rescue Team carried out the recovery and was joined by volunteer fire departments from Fruitland Ridge, Miranda and Myers Flat.
- Scanner traffic reported the woman may have been submerged since about 10 p.m. the night before, but officials have not independently confirmed that timeline.
- Authorities say they have identified the victim but are withholding her name pending notification of next of kin.
- Investigators have reported no evidence of suspicious circumstances so far and the coroner’s review will determine the official cause and timing of death, a finding that could shape whether charges or further inquiries follow.
