A second suspect, Ramona Gonzalez, is in jail on suspicion of fraud and theft. She denies any involvement in the victim\u2019s death.<\/p>\n<p>The decomposing remains of the victim, an 80-year-old Air Force veteran and former roommate of Wallace, were found on November 1 after a welfare check on their home. The victim\u2019s name has not been released yet, but authorities told Fox 10 that Gonzalez sometimes stayed at the victim\u2019s home.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cShe reportedly relapsed on illicit drugs, would pawn [the victim\u2019s] possession, and routinely steal his vehicle,\u201d court documents obtained by Fox 10 said.<\/p>\n<p>Family members became concerned after they hadn\u2019t heard from the victim in about a month, the documents said. The family \u201cwas concerned because [the victim] had diabetes and might have passed away in the residence,\u201d the documents said.<\/p>\n<p>When police arrived at the victim\u2019s home, neighbors said they had not seen the victim in three to four weeks. Officers forced their way into the residence and found blood on the living room ceiling, as well as on several walls and furniture. They also noticed \u201ca strong foul odor,\u201d according to court documents. They found the victim\u2019s body inside two black trash bags in a bedroom. The victim\u2019s head was found atop a pile of linen. The Maricopa County medical examiner\u2019s office will determine the exact cause of death.<\/p>\n<p>The victim\u2019s missing pickup truck was found near a motel where surveillance caught Gonzalez entering. They later discovered the room was rented to Wallace. The pair were taken into custody at the motel on November 3.<\/p>\n<p>Wallace pawned some items on October 26, including a chainsaw, hedger, and camera. Investigators reviewed surveillance video showing Wallace and an unidentified woman pawning the items, which they sold for $50. Police were able to obtain the items Wallace pawned and found the victim\u2019s business card inside the camera bag. Police wrote in court documents that \u201can odor of decomposition\u201d came from the items. After the items were processed, crime scene personnel found what appeared to be bits of human flesh, torn ligaments, and other biological matter on the chainsaw.<\/p>\n<p>Gonzalez told police she had broken into the victim\u2019s home to retrieve some things she had left behind after she couldn\u2019t get in contact with the victim. She said she and a friend found the body when they broke into the home. She also claimed to have a recording of Wallace discussing the murder.<\/p>\n<p>A neighbor <a href=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/2022\/11\/08\/accused-killer-thomas-wallace-pawns-chainsaw-covered-in-human-flesh\/\">told<\/a> KPTV that the victim was \u201ca good neighbor\u201d who helped others.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s a sad thing to happen to him. He didn\u2019t deserve that,\u201d Ruby Lowry, the neighbor, told the outlet. \u201cI hope they get what they deserve because he would help anybody. That\u2019s probably why he had them over there.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>An Arizona man accused of killing his roommate pawned the chainsaw he allegedly used, which still had human flesh in the blades.
