Marcia Ann Forsberg, 60, of Rancho Santa Margarita, California, was last seen in February 2010. Neighbors say her husband, Richard Forsberg, gave different explanations over six months for her absence: that she had allergies and was staying inside, that she was on vacation in Arizona, or that the couple had separated. Neighbors reported her missing in August 2010 after they could not contact her.

When police interviewed Richard, he said he had not seen Marcia since March 13 and had not filed a missing person report. Investigators found Marcia’s credit cards, bank accounts, and cell phone had not been used. The day after that interview Richard disappeared and his wife’s silver 2001 Volkswagen Beetle was missing; a few days later he was located in a Palm Springs hospital after a suicide attempt and then confessed to killing Marcia on February 9, 2010, during an argument. He told investigators he bludgeoned her with a small statue, dismembered and decapitated her, and burned remains at Lake Piru after transporting them in a rented motor home.

Richard Forsberg was charged with first-degree murder. Marcia’s body has not been recovered. Does anyone who knew Marcia or saw her in early 2010 have information that could help clarify what happened?
