Lawyers prosecuting former Mr. Bungle member Theobald 'Theo' Lengyel for the murder of his ex-wife, Alice 'Alyx' Herrmann, say that a recording recently discovered on her phone documents her violent death.
Authorities say Lengyel murdered his former partner on December 4, 2023, and buried her remains in Tilden Regional Park in Berkeley.
Lengyel, who played keyboards, saxophone and clarinet for Mike Patton's band from their formation in 1986 until 1995, and appears on on the band's early demos, their, 1991 self-titled debut and 1995's Disco Volante, had already been on trial for a month in the Superior Court of Santa Cruz, accused of Herrmann's murder, when the recording on her cellphone was discovered.
