COBB, Calif. – A Cobb man is being held on $1 million bail for allegedly killing his girlfriend.

James Michael Carpy, 44, was arrested following the discovery on Friday of his girlfriend's dead body in their Cobb home, according to Capt. Chris Macedo of the Lake County Sheriff's Office.

The name of the 33-year-old victim has not been released by the sheriff's office. Macedo said the woman's name is being withheld pending notification of family members.

At 6:52 p.m. Friday Lake County Sheriff’s deputies were dispatched to a residence on Hogan Hill Lane on Cobb on the report of a suspicious death, Macedo said.

The reporting party advised dispatchers that he had arrived at his daughter’s house and found her deceased, according to Macedo.

When deputies arrived on scene they located an unidentified female lying on the floor inside the residence. Deputies determined that woman was in fact deceased, but Macedo said the deputies were not able to determine the possible cause of her death.

Macedo said the deputies contacted the woman's father, who had found her, and he informed them that he went to his daughter’s residence to check on her as he had not heard from her since Thursday evening.

The woman's father informed sheriff’s deputies that his daughter lived at the residence with her boyfriend, Macedo said.

The man went to the Hogan Hill Lane residence with his girlfriend and his other daughter. He reported that Carpy answered the door, according to Macedo.

Macedo said the victim's father entered the residence and found his daughter deceased in a rear bedroom. The father then told his girlfriend to go to the neighbor’s house and call 911.

After interviewing the victim's father deputies contacted Carpy inside the residence, Macedo said. Carpy was detained without incident and transported to the Lake County Sheriff’s Office for questioning.

After questioning, Carpy was arrested and booked at the Lake County Hill Road Correctional Facility for murder and inflicting corporal injury on a spouse or cohabitant, with bail set at $1 million, Macedo said.

Lake County Sheriff’s detectives were summoned to the scene to conduct the investigation, which is ongoing, Macedo said. He said no further information on the case will be released until Monday, May 7.

Anyone with information on this case is asked to call the Lake County Sheriff’s Office at 707-263-2690.
