Florida Bodybuilder Accused Of Murdering Ex-Wife & Trying To Incinerate Her Body In Backyard Fire

A Florida man was arraigned on Monday after being accused of unspeakable crimes against his ex-wife. On September 29th, according to a friend, Katie Baunach’s plan was merely to go pick up some belongings from ex Ian Christopher Baunach’s home following their recent divorce.

But she never returned, leading the BFF to file a missing persons report a day later.

Katie had reportedly filed a restraining order against Ian last month, claiming he abused one of their two children. Additionally, the bodybuilder was arrested last November on charges of domestic battery by strangulation.

So we’re guessing it wasn’t too tough to get a search warrant… Police later returned with the warrant, but the car was gone by then.
