PASADENA, Calif. (AP) — A California State University professor was stabbed and decapitated in her home, and the suspect, a onetime graduate student who had worked with her, later committed suicide, police said.
The body of Glenda Vittimberga, 37, was discovered in her Pasadena home early Monday. She had been stabbed several times, and her head was found in the living room fireplace.
Meanwhile, before dawn Monday, Mark Stephen Guerrero stripped off his clothes and ran in front of a truck on a San Bernardino County highway, killing himself, police said.

Authorities identified Guerrero, 38, as the suspect in the slaying, and police were trying to determine whether blood found in his vehicle matched Vittimberga's blood.
