YUBA COUNTY (CBS13) — A man is in custody accused of homicide after his wife was found dead at a rural Yuba County residence Wednesday morning.
The Yuba County Sheriff's Office says 44-year-old Christine Adams of Visalia was found with obvious physical trauma in a guest room at a residence in the 17000 block of Indiana Ranch Road around 8 a.m. The residence is east of Challenge-Brownsville and north of Frenchtown.
Detectives identified 43-year-old Bryan Adams, the victim's husband, as the suspect and detained him on a Ramey Warrant for homicide. Mr. Adams was taken into custody Wednesday at a Sacramento-area hospital where he was receiving treatment for injuries sustained in a car crash.
