CAMANO, Wash. (AP) — A body found in a California river was identified as a man charged in the killing and decapitation of a woman on Camano Island.
The Island County Sheriff’s Office said Tuesday that the body of Jacob Gonzales was positively identified through DNA this month after it was found in the Feather River in northern California in April 2018.
Police found the body of 26-year-old Katherine Cunningham a month before on an undeveloped parcel of land near a gun- and ammo-filled bunker on Camano Island.
Authorities said Gonzales lived with Cunningham.
He was charged with murder after investigators said they found a samurai sword with DNA evidence.
