A memorial of candles, flowers, and balloons continues to grow outside the Sacramento apartment where 59-year-old Richard McClintic lived. Family and friends gathered to honor the man known for his strength and optimism despite living with cerebral palsy. His loved ones say McClintic was reported missing after they couldn’t reach him to share family news. Investigators later arrested Christina Cowens, 41, who remains in jail without bail on charges including unlawful disposal of human remains and grand theft. Police say additional charges may follow once McClintic’s identity and cause of death are confirmed. The family expressed gratitude for the ongoing investigation and hopes for justice in the case.
