Van Nuys Woman, 54, Drowns in Pool

A 54-year-old woman was found drowned in an apartment complex swimming pool Monday evening, authorities said.

Roberta Louise Williams, a resident of the complex in the 15600 block of Vanowen Street, was last seen in the early evening by neighbors near the pool area of the apartment, said C. Scott Carrier, a spokesman for the Los Angeles County coroner.

At about 8 p.m., neighbors found Williams floating face-down in the pool and called for help, Carrier said.
