Police arrested Christopher Sorenson, 29, on Friday for allegedly murdering his mother, Janet Sorenson, 71.

“We have reason to believe he was either in San Luis Obispo County or Santa Barbara County over the weekend,” Sgt. Christopher Lane said to the Californian. “She could be anywhere between Monterey … and now as far south as Santa Maria … maybe even further south. We just don’t know.”

Following up on calls from friends and neighbors worried about Janet Sorenson’s wellbeing, police discovered she was missing. A two day search culminated in the discovery of Christopher Sorenson sleeping in his mother minivan in Monterey.

Police are asking anyone who may have seen Janet Sorenson and/or Christopher Sorenson to call the Salinas Police Department investigations division at 831-758-7226.
