Man Accused of Concealing Wife’s Death | Phoenix News

A chilling case in Gilbert, Arizona, has authorities investigating Kristopher Lauchner, 52, accused of hiding the body of his 55-year-old ex-partner, Cindy Miller, for days after her death. Lauchner allegedly moved her body to her home, used her car and phone, pawned her jewelry, and even sent texts to fake her presence — all to avoid suspicion. Arrested August 11, he faces multiple serious charges including concealing a corpse, burglary, and weapons possession. His prior domestic violence case and non-functional ankle monitor add to the gravity. Miller’s family is heartbroken, calling her loss a tragedy they never expected. Lauchner claims he thought she was dead and didn’t call for help — but the judge has ordered him held without bond, citing extreme danger.
