Michelle Rust, a Maryland woman, went missing from Baltimore County about 24 years back and now her husband Dwight Rust Jr has been arrested for her murder. Dwight was charged after a grand jury indictment.
The Baltimore County Police Department’s Homicide and Missing Persons Unit announced the update in Rust's case. On Saturday, July 20, 2002, at about 3pm, officers had responded to the 1800 block of Clarke Boulevard in Halethorpe related to a missing person being reported.
Rust had last been seen in a black V-neck shirt, a princess cut sapphire ring, a diamond engagement ring and a white gold cross necklace with diamonds. Her family had told cops at the time that she had no reason to disappear on her own as she loved her son.
