The bodybuilder ex-husband of 39-year-old Katie Baunach has been charged with her murder after her disappearance on September 29, 2022.
Katie was last seen when she dropped off her two children with a friend and told them that she was going to visit her ex-husband’s home that evening to pick up personal belongings.
When Katie did not return the following day, law enforcement was alerted.
Upon law enforcement’s arrival at the ex-husband’s property, Katie’s car was seen in the driveway and, when law enforcement left and returned a short time later, the car was moved to the street.
The ex-husband initially refused to let law enforcement onto his property. Once a warrant was issued and the ex-husband was detained, law enforcement found a fragment of a human mandible with an intact tooth in a fresh burn pile, and discovered a blue fifty-gallon barrel near the burn pile with a foul odor and an additional human bone fragments.
Law enforcement was able to identify the human remains as 39-year-old Katie Baunach.
Law enforcement found a large quantity of steroids, several guns, and evidence of blood staining on the property.
The ex-husband denied killing his ex-wife, claiming he went to sleep, and, by the time he woke up in the morning, she had gone. He claimed he then moved her car to the street, and when asked about the blood found inside his home, he stated that he did not believe law enforcement.
The ex-husband has been charged with first-degree pre-meditated murder, destroying evidence, using technology communication to commit a felony, cremating a dead body 48 hours after death, and failing to report a death. If convicted, he faces life in prison or the death penalty.

Personally hoping it gets resolved with a plea deal, imo.
