Police Discover Remains of Missing Texas Woman in Boyfriend's Refrigerator
A Texas woman, Heather Louise Schwab, who had been missing for over a year, was tragically discovered dead and concealed in a refrigerator at her boyfriend's residence. Chad Christopher Stevens, 41, now faces charges of tampering with evidence with intent to impair a human corpse in connection with Schwab's death, as reported by McKinney police.
Missing Texas Woman Found Dead In Boyfriend's Refrigerator
Schwab's mother reported her missing in McKinney, a suburb of Dallas–Fort Worth, on June 28. On Nov. 3, Schwab's mother, Tammra Schwab, informed the police that she had received information from Stevens' ex-wife, alleging that Stevens had killed Heather and buried her in his backyard. This revelation prompted further investigation, leading to a search of Stevens' property on Nov. 4.
During the search, a body was discovered inside a refrigerator in Stevens' kitchen, wrapped in "copious amounts of plastic wrap." The Collin County medical examiner's office later confirmed the identity of the remains as Heather Schwab.
In interviews with McKinney police, Stevens admitted that Schwab died in his home on July 26, 2022, and he hid her body in the refrigerator, claiming uncertainty about what to do. Detectives noted anomalies in the backyard during the investigation, and Stevens was also arrested on an assault warrant connected to his ex-girlfriend.
Schwab's mother had previously reported concerns about her daughter's relationship with Stevens, citing alleged abuse and threats. She revealed that Schwab had voiced fears of Stevens killing her and hiding her body. Stevens, during police interviews, acknowledged having "multiple physical altercations" with Schwab and admitted to threatening her life on several occasions.
The affidavit detailed a disturbing incident on Aug. 17, 2022, involving a call for service regarding a woman waving a firearm and a man screaming at the location, believed to be Chad and Heather. Stevens, now in custody at the Collin County Detention Facility, faces a bond set at $150,000. The investigation continues, and it remains unclear whether he has legal representation at this time.
