Overview
- Detectives found 59-year-old Richard McClintic’s remains on Nov. 6 inside his San Juan Road apartment after he was reported missing on Oct. 25.
- Christina Cowens, 41, was arraigned on murder and fraud-related charges and remains jailed, with her next court date set for Nov. 24.
- Cowens was initially booked on suspicion of unlawful disposal of human remains, grand theft, and concealment of a death before the homicide count was added.
- McClintic’s relatives say they received unusual messages from his accounts and that the caregiver blocked attempts to see him, which led them to request a welfare check.
- Authorities say the coroner will formally confirm the identity, and court records show Cowens faced a separate felony embezzlement arraignment in July with no stated link to this case.
