A 24-year-old man was in the Vista jail Friday, the day after police discovered his girlfriend’s body under a bed in their shared Oceanside home.
Officers found Edith Andrea Garcia, 21, about noon Thursday in a makeshift bedroom in the garage of the house on Leeward Court, south of Mesa Drive and east of Foussat Road, police said.

She appeared to have suffered from a knife injury, Sgt, Matt Christensen said in a news release Friday.
Police went to the home at the request of family members who had been unable to reach Garcia. They told police that Garcia’s boyfriend told them she had left following an argument, Christensen said.
Lt. Sean Marchand said Garcia’s stepfather told police he had not seen or heard from her since Tuesday night.
On Thursday, detectives questioned her boyfriend, Arturo Salazar, who confessed that he killed Garcia during an argument Wednesday, Christensen said.
Salazar was arrested on suspicion of murder and is scheduled to be arraigned Monday in Vista Superior Court.
The couple has two young children, but authorities do not know if they saw what happened to their mother. Christensen said the children are with their grandparents.
