Trisha Sadler's bloody remains were stuffed inside heavy plastic bags officers found during a search of the West Bethlehem home she shared with William J. Ward, records say. Lehigh County Coroner Scott Grim pronounced Sadler, 29, dead 8:20 p.m. Friday.
Her death has been ruled a homicide, but the cause is pending the result of an autopsy, authorities say. Lehigh County property records list her as the Cloverdale Road home's owner.
Officers on the scene yesterday reported “a putrid smell” coming from 1860 Cloverdale Rd. in Bethlehem, the site of a five-hour standoff between William J. Ward and Bethlehem Police.
According to the arrest affidavit, in the front bedroom of the home, officers found large, black trash bags containing body parts of “an Asian female believed to be Trisha Sadler.”
Lehigh County property records show that home on Cloverdale Road has been owned and occupied by Trisha A. Sadler, 29, since September 2010. A friend and co-worker of Sadler’s, Crystal Van Gorden, told police that Ward, 45, had been living with Sadler since November 2010, but they had been a couple for nine years.
Gorden made the call to police Friday morning after Sadler had not shown up to work for two days. She told police that Sadler had also missed work two weeks ago, when Ward allegedly had threatened to kill her.
