Johnny Leon Wilson, aged 48, has been arrested in connection with the 2018 murder of his ex-wife, Charine Wilson. She was last seen on November 10, 2018, at an apartment on 8950 Glencrest Street. After a years-long manhunt, authorities have apprehended Wilson. A booking photo of the suspect is available on the Grand Prairie Police Department's website, as reported by the Houston Police Department.

Charine Wilson's son provided an account of events where he accompanied his mother to Johnny Wilson's apartment, but after entering the apartment, he never saw her again. According to the Houston Police Department's Homicide Division, Charine entered the apartment at around 4:30 p.m. She later emerged alone, drove her son to a fast-food restaurant, and left him there. These details were shared in a press release by the Houston Police Department.

Charine Wilson was reported missing two days after her last sighting. Johnny Wilson was arrested on February 17, 2019, as a suspect. After posting bail, he fled the Houston area. A search led to his arrest in Grand Prairie, Texas, on Monday. He is now awaiting extradition to Harris County. Charine's remains have not been found, and the investigation continues. Anyone with information is asked to come forward, as stated by the Houston Police Department.
