Married man murders mistress and mother of 7, leaves remains in trash bag along river bank: Police. [ Michigan ]

A married 34-year-old Michigan man faces murder charges in the killing of his mistress and mother of seven, whose remains were found in a trash bag — with the toes sticking out — by a fisherman on the bank of the Flint River.

Christopher Astin Motry faces first-degree murder and charges of tampering with evidence, concealing the death of an individual and domestic violence in the killing of Christina Elizabeth Barber, Genesee County Prosecutor David Leyton said in a news conference.

The murder was uncovered on March 3 when police were dispatched to the Flint Motel, where Barber had rented room 18. The comforter, sheets, and mattress were soaked in blood. There was blood on a wall and floor, Leyton said.

Police tracked down Barber’s co-workers at Burger King. They’d called the police a day earlier requesting a welfare check for her after she had not been to work in a week and wasn’t answering her phone. Police quickly identified the suspect, who worked with her at the fast-food restaurant, officials said.

Barber had been having trouble with him, authorities added. Their relationship was tumultuous. He had allegedly threatened to kill her on multiple occasions.

He was violent on the job, once getting angry with the manager and ripping the handles off the door of her car, Leyton said.

Police discovered Barber’s remains on March 4 when a man looking for a spot to fish found a black garbage bag and called the police.

Police pieced together the chronology after reviewing motel surveillance video, which showed the couple pulling into the motel lot in front of room 18 in a 2001 Ford F-150 pickup on Feb. 28, Leyton said.

They both went into the room, the prosecutor added, but only Motry came out the next night with what appeared to be a body in a bag. He put the bag into the bed of his truck and dumped it along a section of the river frequented by fishermen, he said.

“It was inevitable it was going to be discovered there,” Leyton said.

Motry was married and was having an affair with Barber, who was divorced, but trying to get out of that affair, Leyton said.

I’m not a psychologist, but it’s quite common for some women to “fall in love” with thugs.

Our prisons are full of people doing life for murder. We seriously need to bring back the death penalty or hard labor. No weightlifting in the yard or cable TV either.

The dating choices for a divorced woman who works at Burger King and has seven kids has to be fairly small.

For 60 years, the neo-marxist Left has filled their heads with woke mush, and destroyed their families

So when their erroneous world view knocks them on their ass, they have no safety net

It’s not the class, it’s because they are fat and or ugly and take any man who tells them that they love them.
