Wife of missing man arrested

MONROE COUNTY, Miss. (WCBI) – The wife of a missing man is behind bars after an arrest warrant was put out for her.

Ellen M. Huebner, 45, turned herself in Monday morning.

Monroe County Sheriff Cecil Cantrell said enough evidence has been collected to charge Huebner with Murder.

She is currently being held at Monroe County Detention Center.

Her husband, Steven Huebner, was reported missing last week by his co-workers at Columbus Air Force Base.

A body was found Friday in the back yard of a home on Buck Road.

“The body was found in the backyard. It was folded up in what looks like maybe a couple of shower curtains and a tarpaulin, and it was inside of a blue tote bag back there,” said Cantrell.

WCBI will continue to follow this story and bring you more information as it becomes available.
