HuffPost
Missouri resident Amy Houge was reported missing in June. Her ex-boyfriend and his new girlfriend were charged this week with her kidnapping and murder.
A Missouri man and his girlfriend are facing charges more than a month after he allegedly assaulted his ex-girlfriend, restrained her to a wheelchair and fatally shot her.
Tony Lawrence Charboneau and his girlfriend, Brandi Luffy, were charged with a number of felonies, including murder and kidnapping, in the death of Charboneau’s ex-girlfriend Amy Hogue, the Washington County District Attorney’s Office announced Monday.
Houge, 43, had been reported missing in June. Prosecutors said Charboneau had previously been charged with two instances of domestic assault against Houge before she was killed.
Washington County authorities said Charboneau and Luffy had gotten into a verbal argument with Houge on June 20, which eventually escalated to Charboneau “punching and stomping” the victim, according to a warrant application.
Houge was at her ex’s home at the time of the alleged incident. Washington County Sheriff Zach Jacobsen told the St. Louis Post-Dispatch that “she was trying to leave.”
