From the article ...

Little more was said in court regarding the additional suspect, but the DA’s Office later confirmed that “there is an individual who we believe assisted (Anthony) Gumina ‘after the fact.'” A man named Ruano Ardon Emerson, the DA’s Office added.

Emerson’s name appeared on the same criminal calendar being heard in Dept. 7 on Fair Lane Tuesday, along with a codefendant in what appears to be a marijuana-growing operation. (No further details regarding that case were available at press time.)

Bail for Emerson was set at $1 million in the marijuana-related case, but the 35-year-old also is being held in lieu of an additional $1 million at the county jail, where records indicate he was booked into custody on Sept. 6, by the Sheriff’s Office. The listed, additional charge on the jail log is simply “accessory” with the unusually high bail amount alongside.​
 
Interesting, we suspected he had help. So now I'm curious if Heather's body was discovered at the marijuana growing operation?
Yes, that was where she was found.

Second Suspect Arrested in Heather Gumina's Murder

A second suspect, Ruano Emerson, also faces charges for “accessory after the fact” for “willingly and unlawfully” having knowledge in Gumina Waters’ death, according to El Dorado County court documents.

Court documents say Emerson also harbored, concealed and aided Anthony Gumina with the intent he would be able to escape arrest and conviction.

Around September 6, police arrested Emerson along with an accomplice for cultivating more than half a dozen cannabis plants.

The location of the marijuana grow is also where the El Dorado County deputy district attorney confirms Gumina Waters’ body was recovered.

A pre-preliminary hearing on the matter will be held Feb. 11 at 1:30 in Dept. 7 Superior Court for both Gumina and Emerson.
 
Are there any updates in Heather's case?
Most criminal trials have been extended 90 days from March 23, 2020. Here’s the statewide order but that I found on El Dorado Superior Court’s website. The court has a criminal index online where I can see his charge and the date charged but they do not have a docket to see when the next hearing or trial date is.
