Detectives are investigating a homicide in an upscale Orange neighborhood, where a
48-year-old woman — the wife of a former law enforcement official — was stabbed to death after returning home from a party.
Neighbors said they were stunned by the slaying, saying the neighborhood is usually safe and has little crime.
Cheryl Rose Wynn was in her home on the
1200 block of North Palo Loma Place at about 6:30 p.m. Sunday when she was found by her
husband, who called 911, according to the Orange Police Department.
Wynn died at the scene, police said.
Police said they had not determined a motive and have no motive. KABC-TV reported that Wynn’s husband — described by neighbors as a retired Orange County law enforcement official — found her and called authorities.
Detectives have not determine whether the crime was linked a robbery or whether she was somehow targeted.
Anyone with information is asked to call Det. Aaron Towner at (714) 744-7456.
