\nA woman suspected of killing her roommate in Siskiyou County was arrested in Sacramento County, authorities said. \n<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n


\nFrankie Marie Keller, 68, was found dead June 8 along Hawkinsville View Road in the community of Hawkinsville. \n<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n


\nAn autopsy found Keller died of blunt-force trauma, and her death was classified as a homicide. \n<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n


\nDetectives identified Keller’s roommate, Elzie Jane Hernandez, as a suspect and obtained a warrant for her arrest in June. \n<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n


\nSiskiyou County detectives later located Hernandez driving through Sacramento County, where sheriff’s deputies stopped and arrested her June 29. \n<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n


\nHernandez was returned to the Siskiyou County Jail and faces a murder charge, the sheriff’s office said. Her preliminary hearing is scheduled for Aug. 14. \n<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n


\nThe investigation remains ongoing. Anyone with information is asked to call Agent Smith or Detective Gulick with the Siskiyou County Sheriff’s Office at 530-841-2900. \n<\/p>\n
