The murder trial resumes Tuesday morning in the case against Christopher Wolfenbarger, a Georgia man accused of killing and beheading his wife.

As CrimeOnline previously reported, Wolfenberger stands accused of the murder of his wife, Melissa Wolfenberger.

Police named Wolfenberger a person of interest from the start, according to Atlanta Homicide Detective Jarion Shepard.

The last time Melissa Wolfenbarger’s family had contact with her was on Thanksgiving of 1998, when she made a phone call from her husband’s grandparents’ residence, as stated in a police report from that period.

By 1999, authorities discovered a human head, which had been submerged in bleach inside a black garbage bag, located off Avon Avenue in Atlanta. This area was situated behind a glass company where Christopher Wolfenbarger had previously been employed.

Police said he didn’t report his wife missing until 2000, claiming that she left voluntarily and never returned.

A grand jury indicted Wolfenberger in 2024.
