<p class="mol-para-with-font">Remains believed to belong to a missing California mom have been found hours after her husband was arrested over her disappearance two months ago.<br />
The search for 33-year-old Heather Gumina came to a grim conclusion on Friday when her body was discovered in Pleasant Valley, according to the El Dorado County Sheriff&#8217;s Office.<br />
Anthony Gumina, 44, was arrested on an outstanding no-bail warrant for domestic violence as detectives were searching for the body.<br />
&#8216;Following the discovery, EDSO detectives arrested Anthony Gumina for homicide,&#8217; officials announced in a Facebook post.<br />
Heather, a mother of three, was reported missing from her Placerville home on July 16, the day after she was released from the hospital with a broken collar bone.<br />
A week later, Anthony filed for a restraining order against Heather, claiming in the petition that the pair had gotten into a brutal fight on the day she disappeared.<br />
Three weeks ago in an exclusive interview, Anthony insisted that he had nothing to do with his wife&#8217;s disappearance &#8211; despite having been interviewed several times by police who searched his home for 30 hours.</p>

<p class="mol-para-with-font"><span style="color: var(--color-text);">Anthony filed for a restraining order against Heather on July 23, one week after she was reported missing. In the petition, Anthony claimed that the pair had gotten into a brutal fight on the day she disappeared..</span><br />
Anthony, a carpet fitter, in past interviews insisted that he has been out looking for his wife &#8216;every day&#8217; but the organizers of the official Heather Gumina search group said that he has not been involved with them.<br />
He had been the subject of a pending domestic violence case, due to go to trial this month, after he allegedly headbutted Heather during a vicious fight in February.<br />
He was accused of trying to prevent her from calling the cops. A blood test administered after his arrest showed that he had been under the influence of meth and opiates at the time.<br />
In the petition for a restraining order filed July 23, Anthony described the fight he and Heather allegedly had in front of her mother the day she disappeared.<br />

<span style="color: var(--color-text);">Anthony, 44, who married Heather on March 18, admitted that his marriage is in tatters but denied harming her and said he is praying for her to be found.<br />
</span>He is currently serving a five-year probation term after being convicted of burglary and witness intimidation in February 2017, claimed that the headbutting incident was &#8216;a misunderstanding&#8217; but also said she had called the cops in a deliberate attempt to have him sent back to jail.<br />
Anthony said: &#8216;I want her to just show up and be OK and for everything to be alright. I didn&#8217;t do anything [to her]. I married her because I love her.<br />
He added: &#8216;Look, this marriage is not going to work out but I would never do anything like this [harming her]. I&#8217;m a lover. I&#8217;m not that kind of guy.<br />
&#8216;The sheriffs [deputies] were here for like 30 hours doing an investigation. They took my car. They walked every piece of land so I&#8217;m cleaning up again and again and again and I&#8217;m dealing with my wife. I don&#8217;t deserve this.&#8217;<br />
Kathy Schneider, 55, a close friend of Heather&#8217;s said: &#8216;We don&#8217;t hear from him much. We don&#8217;t hear from him. He&#8217;s not helping with the search efforts and he&#8217;s not in our search group.&#8217;</p>

Heather&#8217;s mother issued a statement via a friend in which she described the mom-of-three as &#8216;the best daughter anyone could ask for&#8217;.<br />
She added: &#8216;I miss her beautiful smile and her thoughtfulness towards me and her kids. She was always doing something kind for all of her kids, family and friends.<br />
&#8216;She was a hard worker and truly beautiful inside and out. Her friends have been calling me daily for updates. Life without her is so unimaginable.&#8217;<br />
Other friends described the mother-of-three as popular and devoted to her children but admitted she had had problems with substance abuse in the past.<br />
Court records show she had several convictions for burglary and DUI but the 33-year-old had begun to turn her life around, proudly posting a letter confirming she had completed her probation on Facebook last August.</p>

Although Gumina insisted that he was desperate for his wife of six months to be found, he also said, that she had ongoing addiction problems and had &#8216;a dark side as well as a wife side.&#8217;<br />
He said: &#8216;My wife had some problems, you know. I&#8217;m not sure of what she&#8217;s ever done – she&#8217;s had numerous marriages and similar kind of situations…<br />
&#8216;She&#8217;s got some of her own addiction problems and whatnot that she&#8217;s been dealing with for a long time.<br />
&#8216;I kind of got used to not knowing with my wife a little bit. I told her, whatever&#8217;s going on in your life, I want to know, I want to understand.<br />
&#8216;She has her dark side and then she has her wife side. I probably shouldn&#8217;t say much more than that out of respect for her.&#8217;</p>
