The Murder of Todd Schumacher | Part 3
On January 18, 2015, family of then 40 ear-old Todd Schumacher went to his home to check on him, because he had not been feeling well and he was distraught over his missing dog. When they arrived, they found themselves in a horrific crime scene.
While one person was knocking on the front door of the house, another saw a person look out the window at the top of the door that appeared to be Todd’s boyfriend, Matthew. They knocked on the front door and the back door, but nobody answered. They went to the carport door, through which they could see splatters of blood inside. After they broke into the house through the back door, they found "blood everywhere' in the kitchen.
They went to the bedroom and saw the "Please send to heaven Todd + Matt." written in blood on the bedroom wall. Todd was lying naked on the floor "with chunks of flesh taken out of his body." They felt Todd's neck for a pulse and found that he was dead. Matthew was lying on the bed and fidgeting with something silver in his hand.
Join The Murder Police Podcast as lead homicide detective Rob Wilson details the investigation of this brutal domestic violence homicide, with curious ties to animal cruelty.
