Body is That of Missing Loma Linda Woman, Officials Said

The search for a woman who had been missing since Monday came to a heartbreaking end Tuesday afternoon when authorities found her body near Forest Falls.

The San Bernardino County Sheriff’s Department Search and Rescue Team found the body of Karri Kordik, 50, of Loma Linda, about 1:30 p.m. Her body was 100 yards north of the Big Falls parking lot where her Honda sedan was found abandoned.

Kordik’s family reported her missing on April 4. Loved ones told deputies they were concerned about her state of mind. Deputies who found the Honda said all her personal belongings were inside the car.

The report and the car's discovery touched off a large search involving Sheriff’s volunteer forces and two Search and Rescue teams, including a tracking dog from the Riverside Sheriff’s Department. Crews had searched through the night, officials said.

An autopsy will determine the cause of death.

Officials will continue their investigation and ask anyone with information to call Yucaipa Station at (909) 790-3105 or Sheriff’s Dispatch at (909) 387-8313.
