admin Posted August 30, 2018 Share Posted August 30, 2018 When 32-year-old Timothy Hernandez's parents arrived at their Mount Vernon home after church Sunday afternoon, they found his girlfriend on the ground, with her head removed from her body and placed on the back of her torso, according to Mount Vernon police reports. Hernandez is now charged with first-degree murder in Skagit County Superior Court, accused of plotting his 27-year-old girlfriend's death that morning. He would later tell police that he "had spoken with God," who told him to "strike down" his girlfriend. Their 3-year-old daughter also told investigators she witnessed the slaying. After the parents called 911, cops arrived to find Vanessa Cons' body on the floor of the bedroom she shared with Hernandez, at the parents' house in the 1200 block of North 18th Street in the city about 60 miles north of Seattle. The parents told officers that they had left for church between 9:30 and 10 a.m. that morning without seeing Hernandez or Cons. They found her body when they returned home about 12:45 p.m. The parents claimed the couple argued before going to bed the previous night. Investigators found a butcher knife in the kitchen sink with a clean blade, but blood and human hair on the handle. They also spotted multiple stab wounds to Cons' back and the back of her head. They believe Hernandez sawed her head off from her body and placed it on the back of her torso, according to the incident report. Police also found bloody clothing in a laundry basket and a chemical examination found bloody footprints around Cons' body that led to the kitchen sink, documents indicate.
