A California man has been charged with murder in the killing of his ex-wife, nearly two decades after she disappeared and more than six years after her remains were discovered hidden beneath a residence.
Jill Maiorca was 29 years old at the time of her death. Authorities identified her husband, Jeff Maiorca, 53, as the suspect following the discovery of her body in a home’s crawlspace in 2020.
Investigators described the case as potentially one of the newest examples in the United States to be resolved through modern DNA analysis techniques. The charge was filed six years after the remains were found, bringing a criminal proceeding to a case that has lingered for approximately twenty years.
