Police previously said Ms Ritchie had been ‘involved in prior domestic violence incidents,’ and said foul play was suspected in her disappearance.

Lt. Brandon Watkins told Fox 23 that Ms Ritchie’s husband, Chris Morland — whom she married less than a month ago — was being investigated as a person of interest. Mr Morland was arrested last week in a case unrelated to his wife’s disappearance, and is currently in police custody.
