Marcia Y. Eubank, 49, was arrested on suspicion of murder Saturday in Ohio
A woman charged with murdering her husband lived with his dismembered body parts in her home for five months, police have said.
Marcia Y. Eubank, 49, was arrested on suspicion of murder Saturday in Coventry Township, Ohio, after police discovered the remains of her husband, 54-year-old Howard L. Eubank.
The couple had been married for 24 years, and had at least one son.
Marcia has a work history at a nursing home and Howard worked at a water supply company.
On Saturday afternoon, their son made a terrifying discovery in his parents' home in the community of 11,000 on the southern outskirts of Akron.
Howard and Marcia Eubank were married in 1994. She is seen left with her grandmother center, and the man on the right is believed to be Howard, who was found dead Saturday
Police responded to this residence after getting a tip on Saturday. They found a tote bag in the back yard of the home containing the dismembered remains of Howard Eubanks
Police say he found decomposing body parts in a home office that was 'exclusive' to his mother's use, WKYC reported.
The son exchanged several text messages with his mother before calling 911 to alert authorities at 1.38pm on Saturday, police said.
Investigators responded to the home and discovered decomposing body parts inside various bags and luggage around the house.
Investigators believe that Marcia shot and killed him in June, and then dismembered his body with several saws and lived with the remains in her home.
Howard's co-workers at the water supply company told police that they received a 'bizarre' text message from his phone this summer, claiming that he was suddenly moving to Texas on June 18.
Marcia appeared in court via video link from the Summit County Jail on Monday (pictured left and right). Her bail was set at $1million
'It’s sick. I’ve known these people for over 20 years,' neighbor Jackie Kaylor told the Beacon-Journal.
'It’s absolutely devastating. I just can’t believe this is all real,' Kaylor said.
Kaylor said officials were on the scene from about 1pm to midnight Saturday 'carrying different bags of things from outside the house and back yard'.
Marcia was not home at the time of the search, but cops located her in the parking lot of a local business Saturday evening and took her into custody without incident.
She was then interviewed by sheriff’s detectives and subsequently charged with one count of murder and booked into the Summit County Jail.
An autopsy on will be performed this week at the Summit County Medical Examiner’s Office, but officials say preliminary information leads them to believe Howard was shot multiple times.

She is next due to appear in court on Wednesday.
