The Clark County Sheriff's Department says Shaun Rudy is a "person of interest" in his wife's death.

Human remains were identified Friday (December 16, 2005) as Christine Rudy's, who had been missing since November 12. That was when Shaun said the two were arguing in the car and he dropped her off on County MM despite her being six months pregnant.

Sheriff Louis Rosandich says a number of people are being interviewed, including Shaun, who's held on drug and weapons charges. Authorities hope to pass the case to the district attorney by January 1, and then decide who to charge.

Meanwhile, Christine Rudy's hometown of Thorp is reeling from the latest developments. People there want to know what happened in the moments before her death.

"It just knocked the wind out of everybody because I guess you think it can't happen here," says one resident.

Some people even say they'll have to lock their doors when they're home alone.
