Earlier this year, the Los Angeles Police Department said in a statement that Pearlman’s body was located after officers responded to a radio call for a death investigation at Franklin Avenue and North Sierra Bonita Avenue, just south of Runyon Canyon Park, a popular hiking spot among locals and tourists.

The Hollywood soap opera actress's family had been looking for her since Feb. 13, when she failed to return home.

Pearlman’s husband, Vance Smith, confirmed her death on Instagram, saying, "The police found Lindsey. She’s gone. I’m broken."
