A shocking crime has occurred in Missouri, where a father of two is accused of brutally killing his wife. The disturbing details of the crime reveal that the accused, John Wonder, allegedly wrote his name in blood on his wife’s body and even messaged his sister about how “easy” and “satisfying” the act was. This horrific incident took place on September 22 inside the couple’s home in Kansas City. According to police reports, the couple was in the process of getting a divorce, and the victim, 29-year-old Ashli Ehrhardt, was planning to move out of their shared home within a few days.
The chilling message sent by Wonder to his sister after the murder adds to the complexity of the case. He allegedly said, “Hey kiddo. Sorry about the mess. It’s way easier and much more satisfying than you can imagine. See you around.”
The investigation began when the couple’s employer raised concerns about their absence from work. The supervisor informed the police that the two were going through a divorce but still resided in the same house. This led to a welfare check at their home.
Upon arriving at the scene, Ehrhardt’s parents and the responding officers made a gruesome discovery. Her father found her lifeless body in the downstairs laundry room, partially unclothed with a belt wrapped around her neck. There were multiple stab wounds on her left side, and the word “Wonder” was written in blood on her leg. The murder weapon, a large butcher knife and meat cleaver, was found nearby.
As the investigation unfolded, Wonder’s sister provided valuable evidence in the form of text messages she received from him. These messages expressed his chilling satisfaction with the murder. Wonder also sent disturbing texts to a friend, indicating his intention to evade capture.
Eventually, Wonder was apprehended by Nebraska state police while driving to Fargo. He is now facing charges of first-degree murder and armed criminal action. Court records show that he has not yet acquired legal representation and is currently held on a $1 million bond.
This tragic incident serves as a reminder of the prevalence of domestic violence. According to data from the National Coalition Against Domestic Violence, nearly 20 people are physically abused by an intimate partner every minute in the United States. It is crucial to seek help and support if you or someone you know is a victim of domestic violence. The National Domestic Violence Hotline (1-800-799-SAFE) is available for assistance.
