A mother of three was found dead inside a Huntington Beach home Friday and police were looking for a 41-year-old man with whom the victim had a dating relationship.
The woman, whose name was not immediately released, was found dead about 1 p.m. after a friend of the suspect, identified as Jason Becher, asked police to conduct a welfare check at the woman's home in the 9000 block of Litchfield Drive based on comments that Becker had allegedly made, according to Huntington Beach Police Department Public Information Officer Jennifer Marlatt.
The woman's oldest son was at home at the time and assumed she just wasn't home, authorities said. He continued playing video games until police knocked on his door to conduct a welfare check at the house, where his mother was found dead.
Becher was last seen in white 2015 four-door Lexus ES350 with the California license plate of 7MZP290, according to Marlatt, who said the suspect is believed to be heading to either the Anaheim area or Las Vegas.
The woman had a restraining order against Becher, neighbors said.
It was unclear if she and Becher lived together. Becher was described as white, 6 feet 1 inch tall, 195 pounds with brown hair and hazel eyes. Anyone with information regarding his whereabouts was urged to call 911.
