This is so sad. A man viciously killed his wife…. and after months of searching for her he finally confessed… and then killed himself.
According to Daily Mail:
A Michigan man who confessed to killing his wife before taking his own life left detectives a descriptive note on when and where the horrific homicide took place.
Christopher Lockhart was found dead inside the home he shared with his wife Theresa in Portage in late October, after police say he had been dead for several days.
The 47-year-old was found in the home by police after he failed to show up for a routine appointment with his probation officer.
Also found next to his body, was a note confessing to the high school Spanish teacher’s murder which he said he carried out in May after an argument.
The letter included a hand-drawn map pointing to where he had hidden her body.


He wrote:
‘Detective Hess, I’m sorry for taking her away from everyone. Find her and put her to rest. I had no right to do what I did. I pray that God forgives me. I love her so much.’
Police followed the map to the Allegan State Game Area where they found the 44-year-old Spanish teacher’s body partially submerged in some shallow water.
He loved her so much? Really? This is so messed up.
He also confessed to choking her to death when he came home drunk and “snapped.”
It sounds like he had some SERIOUS alcohol problems… but I do not believe alcohol makes you a murderer. That’s on you.
The murderous husband was a real piece of work…
Since his wife went missing, Lockhart had been arrested four times on various charges including drunk driving, tampering with his alcohol tether and cutting his next door neighbor’s internet and air conditioning wires.
Despite being going in and out of custody on those separate charges and being considered a person of interest in Theresa’s disappearance, police never brought charges against him for her vanishing.
My heart absolutely breaks for her and her family. This is such a tragic way to die… at the very hands of someone who was supposed to love and protect you.
