Investigators this week said that William Thomas Schendel left behind the tip of his thumb when his girlfriend, Aimee Eddington-Crawford, bit it off last year during a violent confrontation at her home in California.
The 40-year-old woman was found dead in her shower after suffering “massive blunt force trauma” to her head, according to testimony in a preliminary hearing for Schendel.
The Stanislaus County judge said there was sufficient evidence for Schendel to stand trial for murder.
