SAN ANDREAS (CBS13) – Sheriff’s deputies from San Joaquin and Calaveras counties searched the property Wednesday and resumed on Thursday before the skull was found about 11 a.m. San Joaquin sheriff’s spokesman Deputy Les Garcia said the Department of Justice had been called in to do DNA testing.

This might be the first victim's remains discovered using maps provided to LE by "Speed Freak Killer Wesley" Howard Shermantine. In 2000, he and his partner, Loren Herzog, were convicted of multiple murders that occurred between 1984-1999. Only two bodies were recovered. Shermantine now says there were at least ten victims, possibly more.
Cyndi Vanderheiden, 25, was one of the victims. Her father received a phone call today to inform him that a skull had been found.
Some background:
In 2005, Herzog's convictions were reduced to manslaughter and his sentence reduced to 14 years and time served. In October, 2010, Herzog was granted parole. After Herzog's parole, his partner Shermantine decided to start talking. From death row, he's been working with LE and bounty hunter Leonard Padilla, providing maps and other information to aid in the searches. Herzog committed suicide on January 17, 2012, after Padilla placed a call to advise him that he might need a lawyer because Shermantine was fingering him for the murders. Later that day, Herzog committed suicide.
