  1. SignalSCV reporting this as a gunshot victim. Not good. This is a nice place to watch sunsets.

    • you should be ashamed of yourself. “too bad that place was good for sunsets” that’s somebody’s family member. someone’s family can see this comment. delete your comment and seek help

  2. Lake Hughes Road and Ridge Route have been popular body dumping sites for years.

  3. You wrote *deceased person* in the body of the story but wrote dead body in the headline .. show some compassion, she has loved ones someplace. .

  4. Since when is Castaic in Santa Clarita???

    • Since that upcoming earthquake, and county redistricting: Castaic is now in Santa Clarita; Canyon Country is now in Palmdale, and Newhall and Pacoima are now part of Mexico. Also, Katy Hill opened a convent, for Nuns that like to party naked. But, you are not supposed to know about that yet.

  5. Good one, as always, Ben—-unfortunately, probably true——

  6. Ben, Wow, that was a compliment! JoJo & I liked your accurate creative humor! Gosh——

  7. “NOW THAT’S FUNNY S&#@!”
    I PERSONALLY HAVE A HARD TIME SEEKING ANY HUMOR WHEN IT COMES TO ANOTHER PERSON LOSING THEIR LIFE & FOUND IN SUCH A HORRIFIC & IMPERSONAL MANNER AS THIS! IT COULD HAVE BEEN ANY ONE OF US OR A LOVED ONE FOR THAT MATTER. FINDING A BIT OF HUMOR CAN BRING SOLACE TO SUCH A PROFOUND EVENT IN THIS COMMUNITY OR ANY OTHER. IT CERTAINLY DOESN’T MAKE IT OK IN THE LEAST…BUT I HAVE TO SAY, IT HELPS FOR A COMMENT AS SUCH TO UPLIFT US WITHOUT BEING AT THE EXPENSE OF ANOTHER! TO BE LEFT WITH THOUGHTS OF DREAD & SHOCK AS OUR PSYCHE REPLAYING IN OUR MINDS AS WE SOMETIMES DO. THANK YOU FOR THE “SNL” LEVEL COMMENT THAT CAN MAKE US LAUGH OUT LOUD WITHOUT BEING AT THE EXPENSE
    OF HURTING ANOTHER.,..I APPRECIATE YOU FOR DOING THAT!
