A Janesville man is the only suspect after police Tuesday found his girlfriend’s body under the stairs in the couple’s home.
Police arrested Michael R. Paul, 36, of 326 S. Parker Drive, Janesville, at home Tuesday. He was arrested on charges of reckless homicide and hiding a corpse, Deputy Police Chief Dan Davis said.
He had been in a relationship with the victim, Lisa M. Schaefer, 49, for about two years, Davis said. They lived at the South Parker Drive home, Davis said.
Paul is in custody at the Rock County Jail. He is scheduled to appear in court Thursday.
The police are considering the death a result of domestic violence, Davis said.
An autopsy was conducted Wednesday morning, but the results were not complete Wednesday afternoon. Davis declined to speculate on when or how Schaefer died.
