25 dogs roam free near the site where a California walker was fatally injured

A Northern California woman was found dead, apparently mauled by dogs, and investigators discovered about 25 Great Danes roaming loose in the area.

A local resident reported the death to the Butte County Sheriff's Office on Thursday, Aug. 8. The body was found on a dirt road after Davina Corbin, 56, reportedly failed to return from a walk near her home in a wooded area east of Lake Oroville, the sheriff's report said.

An autopsy revealed numerous bite marks and death was attributed to an attack by domestic dogs.

When sheriff's officers and detectives searched a home near where the body was found, they found about 25 Great Danes running loose. They “spent the entire day trying to capture the dogs,” the sheriff's report said, with the last two being captured on Friday.

The animals were handed over to the district animal control authority.

Corbin's clothing was sent to a lab for DNA analysis, which could reveal which dogs attacked her. The ongoing investigation is trying to determine the circumstances of the encounter, the sheriff's office said.
