Alleged mistress of Walnut Creek double murder suspect arrested, authorities say
"The 45-year-old alleged girlfriend of the murder suspect is now in jail in Martinez. Authorities say she broke into the home where the murders took place and stole evidence - specifically cellphones - and then destroyed and disposed of the evidence in trash cans near where she lives in Oakland."
""The allegations against her are accessory after the fact of a double murder case which means she had knowledge of the crime that was committed and she concealed it from our investigators knowingly," a spokesperson for the Contra Costa County DA's office said.
