"Gerald Stomps" News

Richard Swanson was a witness in the case against 56-year-old Hazelynn Stomps, who is accused of shooting and killing her 60-year-old husband, Gerald Stomps, and then dismembering his body. Police say he shot himself.

Blood on a gun and part of a jaw bone are among the evidence prosecutors are offering in their case against a Corbett woman accused of killing and dismembering her husband then burning and hiding his corpse.

A Multnomah County grand jury has indicted a woman accused of killing her husband and dismembering the corpse. The grand jury indicted 56-year-old Hazelynn Stomps on charges of murder, abuse of a corpse and initiating a false police report.

A 55-year-old woman accused of killing her husband and cutting up his corpse was arraigned on Tuesday. Prosecutors are being very careful not to release too many details about the case.  Many of the court documents are sealed and will be until at least the end of the week.

On Friday, police said human remains were found at the Stomps' home, but they did not confirm that the remains were that of Gerald Stomps, 60. His wife was arrested on murder charges on Thursday while still in the hospital.

The story surrounding the bizarre disappearance of a Corbett man took another turn Thursday evening as police announced the arrest of the man's wife on charges of murder and abuse of a corpse.

Many questions remained unanswered Sunday in this bizarre story in which no one seems to know what exactly happened to the man, whose wife was pushed off a bridge before his disappearance.

Authorities on Saturday continued to search for a man who went missing after his wife was assaulted and suffered serious injuries while near the Sandy River on Friday. Gerald E. Stomps is considered an endangered person.
