An Oregon man who took to social media and pleaded for the public’s help in finding his missing fiancee is now charged with murdering her.

“Heading over to the house to talk to the detective and hand them my phone’s,” Jon French, 33, wrote in a Facebook post on Monday, the day that Portland cops arrested him for allegedly killing Jeannie Enyeart, 47. “Please come home Jeannie Noel Enyeart.”

The victim’s family said they always suspected him in her Jan. 27 disappearance, according to Portland NBC affiliate KGW. Neighbors, they said, told them that French physically abused Enyeart throughout their two-year relationship. The family chewed him out when the court let them speak at his arraignment on Tuesday.

Enyeart’s mother, Helen Eskelson, demanded that her look at her. He did not, instead fixing his gaze down.

“Look at me, Jon. Why?” she said, according to Roseburg CBS affiliate KPIC. “You came to our home. We ate together. We played games together. You swore to me on how much you loved her and I thanked you for that. Is this how you express your love to Jeannie, your queen, like trash? May God have mercy on your pathetic soul.”
