Man charged with murder after wife found in freezer.
Our
story that we have in store for you today begins in Houston, Texas. Domestic
criminal offenses are more common within households than many people think. Those
who are fortunate and lucky enough are sometimes able to escape from these
toxic dynamics.
Unfortunately,
others aren't. Curtis Allen Holliday, a 58-year-old business mogul, was known
to be a kind man in public, and a monster in private. His wife, 29 year old,
Chi Thi Lien Le was often subjected to distress throughout their marriage.
In November and December of 2019, Curtis received two separate charges for assaulting Chi Thi Lien Le in their Houston home. Chi Thi Lien Le's family were mostly unaware of the situation she had faced, which is what made her sudden disappearance so shocking and confusing.
On
April 3rd, 2020, Chi Thi Lien Le's family could not seem to get in touch with
their daughter for a few days. They knew that she was often busy and perhaps
just unable to reach her phone. But it was extremely unlike her to not return
any calls or texts. Whenever they tried to contact her husband, Curtis, he very
cleverly dodged their questions. Something about Chi Thi Lien Le's lack of
communication did not sit right with her family. So they quickly reported her
missing to local authorities.
In
cases involving a violent spouse in particular, it is common to question the
partner of the missing person, as they may have had something to do with it. This
made questioning Curtis Allen Holliday rather easy, and soon this led to the
police arresting Curtis on May 5th, after he was charged with violation of bond
on a protective order, and continuous harm against a family member. While the
police had Curtis in custody, they were able to search the properties that he
was associated with. Investigators found nothing particularly interesting at
the home Curtis shared with his wife, but everything changed when they began
searching elsewhere.
The
police conducted a search at Curtis' business, in the 5800 block of West Sam
Houston Parkway, North, hoping to find some potential clues as to his wife's
whereabouts. And when the officers were about to end their search, one of the
investigators realized that the business had rather large commercial freezers on
site. With bated breath, investigators slowly opened one of the business
freezers on the property and found the remains of Chi Thi Lien Le stuffed
inside. The brutal and horrific discovery was not at all what investigators had
expected to find when they entered Curtis' business property. Chi Thi Lien Le's
case was ruled as a homicide, and her husband was later charged with her
murder.
