MODESTO — This past Wednesday at approximately 2:00 pm, an anonymous call drew Stanislaus Sheriff’s Department deputies to a residence in the 2300 block of Ridge Rd — where a dead body had allegedly been hidden.

Upon their arrival, deputies immediately noticed suspicious behavior on the part of Cory Cline (45), a resident of the block. Further inquiry revealed that Cline lived at the very residence in question, along with 45-year-old Quinton Lambert.

A search of the residence shortly thereafter turned up the body of 30-year-old local Mario Allen Albo Jr.,  who’d sustained a fatal gunshot wound. Sheriff’s Department detectives were then called to the scene and promptly took over the investigation.
