The suspect, identified as 48-year-old Michael Maurice Mack, has been charged with capital murder, but investigators have not found him.
Mack and his estranged wife were married in 2019 but have been separated for the past one and a half years charging docs said. Since their separation, Mack has had a history of stalking her.
On Aug. 10, Mack was arrested for harassing his estranged wife through repeated phone calls, charging docs said.
He posted bail and, per bond conditions, he was not allowed to have any contact with his estranged wife, authorities said.
However, according to officials, just four days later, Mack broke into his estranged wife’s house at 3:30 a.m. and killed the man she was dating, identified as 53-year-old Kelvin Hinton.
Mack forced his estranged wife to help hide the body, threatening to kill her if she did not comply, charging docs said.
Pct. 5 deputies said they arrived at Mack’s estranged wife’s home after being notified of a possible homicide.
At the scene, deputies reportedly found evidence of foul play, but no body.
The investigation led authorities to the 1000 block of Old Highway 90, West Vidor, Texas, where they reported discovering Hinton’s burned remains.
Anyone with information regarding this case or Mack’s whereabouts, is urged to contact their local law enforcement agency, Harris County Sheriff’s Office Homicide Unit (713) 274-9100, or Crime Stoppers at (713) 222-TIPS (8477).
