San Bernardino Woman Arrested After Detectives Discover Human Remains in Makeshift Tomb

On Tuesday, the 6^th of August, a shocking discovery was made by detectives in San Bernardino. They stumbled upon a disturbing makeshift tomb on a residential property, which eventually led to the arrest of a local woman. The remains of a man, who had been missing for eight long years, were found within the tomb.

The investigation into this gruesome incident began on Tuesday, August 23, when the San Bernardino Police Homicide detectives received a tip-off regarding possible human remains at a residence in the City of San Bernardino.

After carefully verifying the information received, investigators obtained a search warrant to further explore the matter. The warrant allowed them to search a property located in the 1400 Block of E. Davidson Street, with the intention of uncovering any potential human remains.

During the execution of the search warrant, investigators were startled to come across a makeshift tomb on the premises. Intrigued by their discovery, they proceeded to investigate further and were horrified to find human remains concealed inside the tomb.

Further investigation revealed that the resident of the property, Trista Spicer, had been living with the deceased individual, Eric Mercado. This crucial information was unearthed by the diligent efforts of the homicide investigators.

Eric Mercado, who had been reported missing by his family in 2014, was another shocking revelation made by the investigators. It appeared that he had not been seen or heard from since his disappearance.

Based on the evidence collected, the homicide detectives concluded that Trista Spicer was responsible for the murder of Eric Mercado. Consequently, an arrest warrant was issued by the San Bernardino Police Homicide detectives for her apprehension.

In September of the same year, the authorities located and arrested Trista Spicer in the city of Yucaipa. The San Bernardino Police Department’s investigators took her into custody and booked her into a local jail facility on the charge of murder.

The San Bernardino Police Department remains steadfast in its commitment to ensuring the safety of its residents. They vow to pursue violent criminals relentlessly, regardless of the time it takes, in order to bring them to justice. This recent arrest exemplifies their unwavering dedication to upholding law and order within the community.
