The outlet talked to her friends who painted a grim picture of her final days in a rural outpost outside LA.

The field where Benard was found was homeless gathering place and her former neighbor Norma Teyechea told DailyMail.com: “She used to drink a lot and take drugs. I’m surprised she made it this far to be honest with you. She would drink neat vodka – it will get you in the end.”

She added “She used to talk about Hollywood – she said she was abused in Hollywood a lot, and that just destroyed her pretty much from what I heard.”
