The Unsolved Disappearance Of Zebb Quinn

May 2024 ยท 2 minute read

The case went nowhere for fifteen years, until Owens was arrested on March 16 on suspicion of ... murdering Christie Schoen Codd, according to Citizen Times, a Food Network Star contestant, and her husband, Joseph. He apparently dismembered their bodies, and attempted to dispose of them in his wood stove. Kevin Taylor, the city police detective, remembered that Owens had a connection to the Quinn case, and that he had an unusual story about digging a fish pond at the time: "the alleged fish pond was not completed and that Owens later covered it with fill dirt." He asked for a warrant to search the rest of his property.

The property searches turned up nothing, Citizen Times reported. Still, two years later, Owens was indicted with the homicide of Zebb Quinn. By this point, Owens had already pleaded guilty in the Codds' case, according to ABC, claiming he had accidentally run them over when his truck got stuck in mud near their house, and was serving a sentence of 59.5 to 74.5 years. Any further details as for why Owens could be indicted for this have not yet been released to the public. Still, the Asheville Police Department seem to think the case has been solved, telling Citizen Times "the indictment is the result of years of investigative work and persistence by detectives, as well as ongoing partnerships with members of the Quinn family and the Buncombe County District Attorney's Office."
