A 31-year-old woman was found dead on a beach in Los Angeles County on Friday, hours after her boyfriend reported her missing, Manhattan Beach police said. 

The woman, identified by the Los Angeles County Medical Examiner’s Office as Jennifer Hanie, was reported missing before 7 a.m. local time, and her body was discovered by lifeguards just after 10 a.m.m, just as the U.S. Coast Guard was also reaching the water. 

Her boyfriend said he had last seen Hanie near the waterline at Manhattan Beach, and he reported her missing after he and his friends couldn’t locate her.
