EX-HUSBAND IS CHARGED WITH CAPITAL MURDER

  

The estranged husband of a pregnant woman found dead in north Harris County yesterday (Thursday),  has been charged with capital murder.

Eqqusearch volunteers found the body of 26-year old Melissa Sowders after an extensive search that began a week ago, when she was first reported missing.

After questioning,  28-year old Matthew Sowders was arrested at his home in Humble.  He is being held without bail.

The search began a week ago, when her boyfriend, Jason Sanford had dropped her off at work at 6:15 last Thursday morning.  Deputies found her white Honda Accord Friday night on Interstate 45 near Richey Road.

Texas Eqqusearch would only say they had good reason to believe her body would be found near the interstate and that her death was the result of foul play.

Sanford said Sowders was suppose to go meet her ex-husband, Matthew Sowders  and their youngest daughter at the McDonalds on FM 1960 near Kuykendahl Road.
