A South Jersey man who reported his artist wife missing has been arrested and charged with killing her and dumping her body.

The Press of Atlantic City reports that John M. Hilyard, 48, reported his wife Chun-Yan Hilyard missing on Wednesday afternoon to Egg Harbor Township Police.

Earlier that morning, a jogger spotted the body of the mother of three in a wooded patch.

Atlantic County prosecutors charged him yesterday.

The couple had a history of domestic disputes and visits from the police, the newspaper said.
