A Wisconsin man is charged with second-degree murder in the death of a Missouri woman who has been missing for 13 years.
The Lake Geneva Police Department said in a news release that 37-year-old Keith Comfort is being held at the Walworth County Jail on a $1 million bond.
Police said Comfort implicated himself in the death of his former wife, 24-year-old Megan Shultz after he went to the Lake Geneva Police Department on Sunday and asked to speak to an officer about a missing person.
Sunday was the 13th anniversary of Shultz’s disappearance.
Shultz was last seen leaving the couple’s apartment in Columbia. At the time of her disappearance, Comfort told police that Shultz left on foot.
Comfort filed for divorce less than three weeks after she went missing. Detectives from Missouri are headed to Lake Geneva to interview him.
