Ebony Owens didn’t show up for work on Wednesday, March 15, 2023, which concerned her co-workers. The Mississippi mother of four was last seen the day before, but has seemingly vanished.

Owens’ burned vehicle, a 2015 White Acura TXL, was found in a wooded area of Hinds County, Mississippi.

A missing persons report was filed and law enforcement officers, including Sheriff’s deputies, have been conducting a “search and recovery effort” for Owens’ body, which is yet to be found.

Search crews are looking for Owens’ body in an area around the Big Black River between the Hinds and Warren County lines.

Law enforcement officials have now turned their attention to Owens’ husband, Michael Owens, 36.

After questioning him, authorities said the missing persons probe has turned into a murder investigation. Using circumstantial evidence, authorities have charged Michael Owens in the death of his missing wife.

Authorities beleve that Ebony Owens was shot and killed from at least one gunshot wound, although they have not disclosed how they come to that conclusion.

Michael Owens is in custody and is facing multiple charges, including murder and arson.

Authorities have not released a motive, but the investigation is being handled as a fatal domestic violence dispute..

In the first two months of 2023 alone, there have been more than 50 incidents of domestic violence in the United States involving women of color.
