During a Monday morning news conference, Lt. Steve De Jong said deputies said they were attempting to locate the man's 68-year-old wife. Authorities did not immediately confirm whether the body of the woman found in the house was the man's wife.
"We're concerned about her welfare," De Jong said, adding that family members told the agency the couple was in the process of a divorce.
Glendora police responded to the home about a month ago after a domestic violence report, De Jong said.
