CAPITOLA, Calif. — A founding member of the Humboldt County band Mr. Bungle was arrested Tuesday for the murder of his girlfriend who has been missing since December 3.
According to the Capitola Police Department, Thoebald "Theo" Lengyel, 54, was arrested for the murder of Alice "Alyx" Kamakaokalani, 61, Capitola.
Police say, Alice Kamakaokalani was last seen on December 3, 2023, prompting a missing person investigation from law enforcement agencies. The Capitola Police Department, in conjunction
with the El Cerrito Police Department, initiated an investigation into her disappearance on December 12, 2023.
As the investigation progressed, it became clear that foul play was involved, leading to the identification of Thoebald Lengyel as a suspect.
The investigation led investigators to recover human remains in a wooded area within Tilden Regional Park in Berkley. The identification of the human remains is pending DNA confirmation from the Contra Costa County Coroner’s Office.
Music lovers who were in Humboldt County in the 80s might know who Mr. Bungle is.
The rock band originated out of Eureka, gaining a large following and headlining shows across California for decades.
The band skyrocketed when it moved to San Francisco in the 90s and signed with warner records.
According to court records, Lengyel had been involved in a domestic violence case with the victim filing a restraining order against him in 2017.
The victim and Lengyel then filed for divorce that same year.
In a 2005 interview, Mr. Bungle's bassist Trevor Dunn said the band ended on bad terms, unanimously deciding to go on without Lengyel as they say he was not growing with the rest of the group.
