A man has been charged in connection with the 1988 murder of his pregnant wife in Missouri. The grand jury indictment of Joel Bremer on two counts of murder is the latest development in a case that has spanned nearly 40 years. The case involves the death of Ronna Bremer, who was 22 years old and seven months pregnant when she was reported missing by her husband in December 1988.

Further details about the investigation and evidence that led to the indictment are available from the source. The case had gone cold several times over the years, but was reopened after evidence from 1989 was sent for DNA testing in 2024.
