ENCINITAS, Calif. — The San Diego County Sheriff's Department on Wednesday identified a woman whose body was located on a property in Cardiff on Tuesday night. The body of Encinitas woman Sabrina Lukosky was found after a neighbor reported a foul odor in the area.

According to friends, Lukosky lived on the property with her boyfriend and the boyfriend’s mother.
