More info:
The suitcase was found by farmworkers at about 10 a.m. as they were draining the pond at a dairy farm on Bacchetti Road in Tracy. Witnesses told investigators it was not there when they drained the same pond about two weeks ago.
The pond sits amid rows of irrigation ditches about 2 miles north of Sandra's home.
Tracy Police Sgt. Tony Sheneman said investigators immediately had strong suspicions about the container found Monday because it was in such a remote area, was so large, and just showed up.
"We're out in the middle of nowhere looking at this scene," he said Monday evening before the chief's announcement. "It would be very unusual for someone to just chuck something that big out here."
After the suitcase was found, investigators combed over the area, looking for "trace evidence everywhere," he said.
