Investigators say a decomposing body found in Clay County Wednesday night is a woman missing since earlier this summer, and that her husband has been charged in her death.
The discovery happened at about 7 p.m. Authorities say the body is that of Stephanie Roark. Roark's relatives say Roark's husband, Walter, has been taken into custody. They say they believer her body had been in a cooler for several weeks, then was buried under her own mobile home, though the sheriff's department says they have no proof of that at this time.
The sheriff's office has charged Walter Roark, 45, with murder and abuse of a corpse. He's being held in the Clay County Detention Center.
