On the morning of Nov. 18, 2025, a deceased woman was found 75 feet down an embankment along Highway 138 and Crestline Road wearing a blue sweatshirt, blue pants and white tennis shoes. An autopsy found injuries consistent with a fall, and authorities later classified the death as a homicide. Officials initially had little identifying information and sought public assistance. A new lead identified the victim as 58-year-old Newport Beach resident Aryan Papoli. Authorities arrested her estranged husband, 66-year-old Gordon Abas Goodarzi, on Jan. 23. Goodarzi is listed as president and CEO of Magmotor and has a LinkedIn-listed research affiliate role at UCLA's B. John Garrick Institute since 2023. Papoli was originally from Iran and lived in Rolling Hills.
