Jury selection is underway in the murder trial for a Georgia man accused of beheading his wife.

As CrimeOnline previously reported, Christopher 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.

Melissa Wolfenbarger’s family last communicated with her on Thanksgiving 1998, when she made a call from her husband’s grandparents’ residence, as per a police report from that period.

In 1999, investigators discovered a human head, bleached and enclosed in a black trash bag, off of Avon Avenue in Atlanta. The head was located in an area behind a glass company where Christopher Wolfenbarger formerly worked.

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

A grand jury indicted Wolfenberger in 2024.

“This defendant committed homicidal violence against Melissa Wolfenbarger, his wife, from whom he was separated,” Attorney Brian Trepanier stated last year.

“Medical examiners were able to determine that the dismemberment appeared to have been done by a mechanical or electrical saw.”

Prosecutors highlighted Christopher Wolfenbarger’s criminal history, indicating that he has faced charges for four felonies since the 1990s, mostly related to theft, along with failing to appear in court for previous cases, and he violated probation in 2003.

Wolfenbarger’s defense responded by pointing out that these offenses occurred many years ago, citing his age and arguing that he should be considered innocent while awaiting trial.
