BUNCOMBE COUNTY -- The Buncombe County Sheriff’s Office believes JT Codd, Christie Schoen Codd and her unborn child were all killed over the past week by their neighbor.
Christie Schoen Codd was a finalist in season eight of the reality show Food Network Star.
The couple married only seven months ago.
The two of them were reported missing last Sunday.
Eventually, deputies arrested their neighbor, Robert Owens, who admitted to authorities he hit JT Codd with his truck.
The suspect did not explain how or why he killed Christie Codd.
The sheriff explained Owens attempted to get rid of the bodies and evidence.
"We were able to recover what we think are human remains, part of those were recovered from a wood stove at that residence,” said Sheriff Van Duncan, of the Buncombe County Sheriff's Office.
Those remains were sent off to a lab to confirm the identities.
Owens was also a suspect in the disappearance of an 18-year-old Asheville man back in 2000, but police were never able to get enough evidence to charge him.
He remains behind bars.
