Man Murders Wife Then Buries Her In State Park
Mengqi Ji was 28 years old, a talented engineer and new mother living in Columbia, Missouri. In October 2019, she suddenly vanished, and her husband, Joseph Elledge, went on local TV pleading for help as investigators raced to figure out what happened. But as police dug deeper, they uncovered secret recordings, signs of escalating control and conflict, and a carefully crafted narrative that didn’t match the evidence. Months later, Mengqi’s remains were discovered in Rock Bridge Memorial State Park near the Devil’s Icebox trail system, and forensic links helped tie the case together. The Decoder breaks down the haunting timeline, the turning points investigators couldn’t ignore, and what happened after a jury convicted Joseph Elledge of second-degree murder, all while the custody battle over their daughter, Anna Jean Elledge, unfolded in the background.
