The man accused of killing his young Ohio bride-to-be a dozen years ago plans to present an alibi defense, court documents show.

John Carter, 35, accused in the murder of his fiancee Katelyn Markham, 21, plans to offer evidence at his upcoming trial next month that he “was not at the scene of the alleged crime of the alleged offense,” according to the Notice of Alibi.
