Man charged with wife’s murder after she’s been missing for 6 months; suspect on the run

HOUSTON – Officers are looking for a man, who was charged with his wife’s murder after she was reported missing, according to the Houston Police Department.

Police announced on Wednesday, Marquise Rochard Glasper, 37, is accused of killing his wife at their apartment in the 7700 block of West Gulf Bank Road in northwest Houston.

He was also charged with unlawful possession of a firearm by a felon and tampering with evidence - human corpse. Lynch’s body has still not been found.

“You just never know when it’s your last moment, so you have to cherish every moment,” said Lynch’s sister Jennifer Mumphrey.

On May 6, Lynch was reported missing. She was last seen the previous day with her husband at their apartment.

Officers said a witness told investigators Glasper found out Lynch had an affair with another man. He had allegedly previously said he would harm her if he learned about her having an affair.

Authorities later searched Lynch’s vehicle, and they found blood in several areas. Officers also searched the apartment and said it looked like someone tried to clean up a crime scene.

“I just want him to know that we want closure, you need to turn yourself in,” Mumphrey said.

If you know where Glasper is or where Lynch’s remains are, you should call police at 713-308-3600 or speak anonymously with Crime Stoppers at 713-222-TIPS.
