A man and a woman found Sunday in Warner Springs were positively identified as the Fullerton couple who were reported missing two weeks ago, San Diego County Sheriff's Department officials said.
Dianna Bedwell and Cecil Knutson were last seen leaving Valley View Casino on Mother's Day.
On Sunday, a white car was spotted east of State Route 79, approximately 47 miles from the casino.
The Los Coyotes Police chief told NBC 7 a man was found dead and a woman was found in desperate need of medical attention Sunday. The area is about 30 minutes from Isil Road and Camino San Ignacio near the Los Coyotes Reservation.
The chief said there were cups placed all around the vehicle so it appears the couple survived off rainwater.
Bedwell was taken by air ambulance to a nearby hospital.
