"Gonzales repeatedly demanded Mamer, 61, move out from their residence on the 200 block of 14th Street. When coworkers told Gonzales various ways she could legally evict the victim, Ms. Gonzales responded with, 'No thanks, I'll do it my way.'"
"Police uncovered a blue container in her storage area, which had a 'pungent' odor. Within was a plastic bag covered in maggots. A 'viscous' liquid bubbled out. After obtaining a warrant, officers found Mamer's severed arms and legs and intact head and torso."
"On May 15, 2018, Gonzales told the third roommate not to enter their bathroom. Later that day, the roommate noticed a 'rotten eggs' smell in the bathroom and heard 'sawing noises' coming from the bathroom for the next four hours."
Lisa Gonzales, 55, was convicted for the murder and dismemberment of her tenant, Margaret Mamer, in 2018. Gonzales had demanded Mamer move out and rejected legal eviction methods. Mamer was reported missing on June 1, 2018. Police discovered Mamer's dismembered body in a container in Gonzales's basement after receiving a tip. Evidence included a strong odor and saw noises reported by a third roommate. Gonzales attempted to conceal the crime by claiming Mamer had moved out.
