HARTVILLE, Ohio (AP) - A 73-year-old Ohio man who has given conflicting stories about what happened to his wife’s body has been charged with aggravated murder in her death.
The Record-Courier reports Philip Snider was arrested Friday in the northeast Ohio city of Hartville. He’s being held on a $5 million bond at the Stark County Jail.
Snider’s 70-year-old wife, Roberta, has been missing since early January. The couple married in 1964.

Snider initially told police he gave his wife’s body to emergency workers after she died during a trip to Graceland in Memphis. He later said he threw her body off a bridge into the Tennessee River while returning to Ohio.
Hartville Police Chief Larry Dordea won’t say why investigators think Snider killed her.
It’s unclear if Snider has an attorney.
