Information reaching our desks has it that Douglas Irwin Shaw killed Renia Lewis and hid her body behind a wall inside an abandoned house in Vallejo.
What began as a search for the missing 28-year-old Berkeley woman ended in tragedy when investigators discovered her body behind a false wall in the attic of the property.
Police initially searched the home days earlier but failed to locate her. When they returned with a warrant, they found the concealed entry where Renia had been hidden.
Her family, who had been desperately searching on their own, said the discovery was devastating.
Authorities arrested 41-year-old Douglas Irwin Shaw the same day and charged him with murder. He was booked into the Solano County Jail after admitting responsibility for the crime.
