Body found near Lake Berryessa in Napa Co. may be linked to man abducted in Tracy, sheriff says

NAPA COUNTY, Calif. -- State Highway 128 near Lake Berryessa reopened Saturday after the discovery of a body prompted its closure between Monticello Dam and Wragg Canyon Road, the Napa County Sheriff's Office said.

The investigation was turned over to the San Joaquin County Sheriff's Office, Napa sheriff's spokesman Henry Woffard said. "It appears that the decedent did not die in Napa County," he said.

The San Joaquin County Sheriff's Office is looking into possible connections to the reported abduction of 57-year-old Avtar Singh. Authorities say he was apparently forced into a vehicle and driven away last Tuesday.
