Man's ex-wife arrested in his 1990 Castro Valley cold-case killing
Police said 58-year-old Cheryl Ann Drace of San Leandro and 50-year-old William Joseph DeVincenzi will be charged with first-degree murder with special circumstances that will make them eligible for the death penalty. Both were being held at the Santa Rita Jail without bail and were expected to enter pleas by Wednesday, authorities said.
"We're pretty overwhelmed at the moment," Tami Borja, 44, Stephen Rudiger's oldest daughter, said while fighting back tears. "It's very surreal. It's not like somebody can tell you what to expect when this happens. We've waited a long, long time. ... You never can give up hope. Ever."
