Summary
Jeffrey Vernon Michaels is in Fresno County Jail after turning himself in Thursday evening in the killing of ex-girlfriend Tatyana McIntyre, a missing Fresno mother.
August 4 set off the investigation when McIntyre's ex-husband reported he could not reach her after her daughter was not picked up from school.
Detectives traced McIntyre's last known location to a house on Grove and Phillip owned by Michaels, then found her body there with several lacerations after serving a search warrant.
McIntyre's car had been found Tuesday night in an orchard near McKinley and Academy avenues; police said Michaels had initially left Fresno and that a motive remains unknown.
McIntyre's sister said she leaves behind seven children, including two with Michaels, and her family has launched a GoFundMe for funeral expenses.
