HOUSTON — Court documents revealed more details about the evidence investigators have against a man who's accused of killing his wife because he thought she was cheating.
Marquise Roshard Glasper, 37, is charged with murder, unlawful possession of a firearm by a felon and tampering with evidence - human corpse in the case, according to the Houston Police Department. The following information is attributable to the official court document in which Glasper was charged with murder.
Glasper was arrested Saturday morning, nearly seven months after authorities believe he killed his wife, 35-year-old Crystal Lynch. A judge denied bond for the murder charge during a court appearance on Saturday night.
Authorities believe Lynch was killed, although her body hasn't been found. Glasper is due back in court on Monday. His criminal history includes two prior aggravated robbery convictions, one in 2003 and the other in 2017.
Family members said Glasper had threatened to kill his wife in the past.
Lynch was reported missing by her 16-year-old daughter on May 7. Five days later, Houston Police Department investigators went to talk to her daughter and began building their case.
What Lynch's daughter told investigators
Lynch's daughter said there were a few red flags that went off around the time her mother disappeared. She said she believed that Glasper was using her mom's phone on the evening of May 6 when she needed a ride home from work. She said it took him about three hours to come get her, and when he got there, he had a gun hanging out of his pocket, which was unusual.
Lynch's daughter said she and Glasper didn't have a good relationship and hardly ever talked to each other. She said that when they got to their home on West Gulf Bank, her mother wasn't there and Glasper was acting strange. She said he checked on her in her room multiple times asking if she was OK.

When her mother still wasn't home the following day, she called one of her mother's friends to come pick her up. She told detectives that her mom wasn't a known drug user and it was "highly suspicious" for her to go missing for multiple days without talking to her.
Lynch's daughter also told investigators that the relationship between her mom and Glasper was violent in the past. She said he pistol-whipped her about two months before her disappearance.
What Lynch's friend told investigators
A friend told detectives that Lynch was caught cheating by Glasper on the day she went missing. She said the affair happened on May 5.
The next morning, the friend said she texted with Lynch about what had happened the night before. Later that afternoon, more messages about the affair were sent to her from Lynch's phone. She said she believed that it was Glasper reaching out to try to find out more about what happened.
What Glasper told investigators
In the days following Lynch's disappearance, detectives reached out to Glasper, who told them Lynch confessed to having the affair but his "main concern" was getting her back, according to court documents.
The HPD detective said Glasper avoided in-person interviews three times, refusing to go to the police station.
During a three-hour phone interview, Glasper told a detective that he assaulted Lynch after finding out that she had cheated on him during one of his previous stints in prison.
What investigators found
On May 19, investigators called and asked Glasper for permission to search Lynch's SUV. During the call, Glasper was "evasive" and told the detective that he had to get off the phone so he could go back to work, even though he wasn't scheduled to go to work until later that night.
A day later, a judge signed a search warrant for the SUV.
During the search of the SUV, blood was found on several surfaces, according to court documents.
On Aug. 10, written consent was provided for investigators to search the two-story townhome on West Gulf Bank where the couple lived. During the search, more blood was found in several areas of the home. Also, a bullet fragment was found in Lynch's bedroom, according to court documents.
Divorce papers as well as Lynch's driver's license, Social Security card and employee ID were found in a box that was on a nightstand.
The SUV was returned to Glasper on Aug. 21. When he got it back, unprompted, he made up a story explaining the blood that was found in the backseat, according to court documents. Investigators said, in their experience, it was an attempt to provide a "preemptive explanation" as to why the blood was there.
In-person interview with Glasper
On Sept. 14, detectives interviewed Glasper in person. He told them that the last time he saw his wife was on May 6 after she got home from dropping her daughter off at work. He said he left to go get cigars and Lynch told him that she was going out. He said she texted again around 10 p.m. asking him to pick her daughter up from work.
On the night in question, there was about a three-hour window for which Glasper's whereabouts were unaccounted. He told detectives that he was dropping off some weed and that's why he didn't show up to pick up Lynch's daughter until about midnight.
Glasper told investigators that close to the time of her disappearance, Lynch had been doing "shady" things, such as hiding her phone and talking to her ex.
