The murder trial resumes Friday 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.

Melissa Wolfenbarger’s family received her last call on Thanksgiving 1998, originating from her husband’s grandparents’ residence, as detailed in a police report from that period.

By 1999, detectives discovered a human head, bleached and encased in a black trash bag, located off Avon Avenue in Atlanta, 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.
