Man Arrested for Girlfriend's Murder

Little Elm Police just nabbed a 53-year-old Denton County man named Christopher Sanders on murder charges for killing his girlfriend.

31-year-old Molly Richards. She vanished back in November 2025 after moving in with him the month before.

Cobbs raided his Denton spot in March with a SWAT team and locked him up in County jail.

Richards texted her dad right before disappearing, saying Sanders had turned physically abusive and super-controlling.

A missing person report hit in January, and soon after, a tit came in about her ID, credit cards, and stuff showing up at another house Sanders owned.

In South Dakota, neighbors are shook, talking about how his yard stayed overgrown, and nobody suspected a thing.

One said it makes you think twice about what's hiding behind closed doors and quiet spots like that, reminding folks to speak up if something feels off.

Investigators had paid her with blood traces in his little Elm home, plus a human remains dog that alerted in the bedroom.

They also found a receipt from a hardware store for stalls, buckets, and gloves.

Cobbs figure Sanders dumped her remains somewhere in Oklahoma before ditching her car up north.

This case stays wide open with nobody recovered yet, but the evidence trail has Sanders facing serious heat as the probe rolls on.
