The orchard is near the intersection of Zerker Road and 9th Avenue.  

The body was found in a black Lincoln around 1:30 p.m. by the California Highway Patrol, who then called out Kern County Sheriff's Department homicide detectives, officials said.

It's unknown who called law enforcement initially.  There was also a white car being towed, but officials didn't say if it was connected to the homicide.

The identity of the body was unknown until the coroner could identify it, officials said.
