A man suspected of using a samurai sword to kill his girlfriend last year at a survivalist bunker loaded with guns and ammo in northwest Washington was found dead in California, officials revealed Tuesday. "The subsequent investigation revealed that Katherine had been murdered on February 14th or 15th," the sheriff's office said Tuesday. "Deputies from the Island County Sheriff’s Office recovered the vehicle from California and towed it back to Washington where Detectives obtained a search warrant." Testing of the sword also found Cunningham's DNA on the blade and Gonzales' DNA on the handle, according to the sheriff's office. The sheriff's office thanked the various agencies and tips from the public that helped with the investigation, and officials thanked the victim's family.
