A Southern California man was arrested Monday years after his wife’s remains were mysteriously found in a crawl space underneath a home in Big Bear.

The remains of Jill Maiorca were originally found in October 2020 by deputies from the Big Bear Sheriff’s Station after responding to a service call along Forest Road in Big Bear Lake.
