Investigators from the Maryland State Police Homicide Unit have apprehended a suspect linked to the suspected homicide of a woman discovered deceased in Wicomico County, Maryland. The individual in question is Jonah Brook Cramer, a 45-year-old resident of Parsonsburg, Maryland. Cramer faces charges of first- and second-degree murder as well as first- and second-degree assault. He is presently held at the Wicomico County Detention Center without bail.
The victim’s identity, as well as the cause and circumstances of her passing, await confirmation through autopsy findings. A motive for the crime has not been determined as of now. Promptly before 8:50 p.m. last night, troopers from the Salisbury Barrack responded to an address in the 32,000 block of Longridge Road in Parsonsburg following a 911 call reporting an assault, which was made by a concerned neighbor.
Upon arrival, the troopers engaged Jonah Brook Cramer. Subsequently, through information and evidence gathered at the scene, investigators identified Cramer as the primary suspect. Maryland State Troopers, in collaboration with deputies from the Wicomico County Sheriff’s Office, conducted an immediate search of the premises. In the rear of the property, law enforcement discovered the deceased woman’s body partially buried in a shallow grave.
Investigators from the Maryland State Police Homicide Unit and Criminal Enforcement Division were summoned to manage the inquiry. Crime scene technicians from the Maryland State Police processed the area for potential evidence. Subsequently, investigators meticulously combed the scene overnight for additional clues and testimonies. The investigation is ongoing.
