Woman Missing After Husband Found Dead From Apparent Suicide

A search was underway Thursday for a Pomona woman who went missing the same day her husband’s body was discovered at their home, according to Pomona police.

The body of Ivan Hernandez was discovered about 10:30 a.m. Wednesday in the garage of the home he shared with his wife, Marisela Fabian Hernandez, according to Pomona police.

Officers went to that location in response to a suicide call, presumably made by Ivan Rodriguez, according to police. Pomona police would not disclose the address of the house.

Police were told that the couple had been having recent marital problems. Detectives have since discovered that Marisela Hernandez did now show up for work Wednesday and efforts by her family to reach her were unsuccessful.

Marisela left her car behind and detectives don’t yet know how she left home, according to police.

Police and her family are concerned for her safety and ask anyone who may have knowledge of her whereabouts to call 911 or contact Pomona police at either (909) 620-2151 or (909) 622-1241.

Tipsters can call Crime Stoppers at (800) 222-TIPS. All tips can be made anonymously.
