The search for a missing Pennsylvania woman came to a gruesome end when her body was found in a metal box on property that once belonged to her husband.

Vincent Harp, 37, was charged with criminal homicide, abuse of a corpse, and tampering with evidence on Sunday after the body of his wife Katlyn Harp, 33, was found the same day. According to a criminal complaint reviewed by Law&Crime, Katlyn Harp was reported missing on June 20 after her sister told police she had not heard from her, which was “not like her.” Police spoke to Vincent Harp, who admitted that he had argued with his wife after dinner on June 19, but when he awoke at 5:00 a.m. the next morning, she was gone.

Katlyn Harp”s sister told police that the Life360 app that she used had also stopped updating on the night she went missing.

After Katlyn Harp went missing, local efforts and law enforcement agencies banded together to try to find her. Meanwhile, police stayed in contact with Vincent Harp, who allegedly told “inconsistent” stories about his movements “before, during, and after” his wife’s disappearance. Among the discrepancies were conversations he did or did not have with a counselor and whether or not he had his phone on him at certain points in time.

According to the criminal complaint, the investigation yielded a witness at a gas station where Vincent Harp stopped in on June 20 to ask “if the store sold gloves.” When the witness — a cashier — told him that they did not, Vincent Harp asked if he could have a pair from an employee at the gas station. The cashier gave Vincent Harp a pair of gloves, which he then put in his pocket before leaving the station in his silver Chevy Silverado pickup truck.
