Joshua David Fury, 28, faces 38 years in prison after strangling Maria Pew at the end of April. He had reported her missing on April 30; her body was found two days later in a crawlspace and Fury was charged with second-degree murder.<br />
Police found the preliminary cause of death to be asphyxiation from a plastic bag taped over her head and nose. Fury was arrested and at first gave multiple statements, trying to blame one of her former boyfriends for her death.<br />
But he eventually confessed that he killed Maria by strangling her at their Maple Grove home and putting the plastic bag over her head, police said.<br />
Fury later told police he planned to use duct tape roll he used to wrap her body to hang missing posters for her.</p>

Fury admitted strangling his wife during an argument about her leaving him. He said he &#8216;placed both hands around her neck and squeezed until he felt a snap&#8217;, the charges said. Maria was found with trauma to her neck, but it was not broken.<br />
When he found Maria was still breathing he put a plastic bag over her head and nose until she stopped.<br />
He said once she was dead he &#8216;wrapped her arms in duct tape, carried her body to the crawl space, dug a hole, placed her body in the hole, filled it up, covered and chalked plastic over the space then cleaned up the surrounded area and himself before going to work.&#8217;<br />
Joshua told authorities it only took two hours to kill her and bury her body.</span></div>

<p class="mol-para-with-font">A two-day large-scale search was launched with teams on the ground and searching by helicopter.<br />
Police served a search warrant on May 2 at the couple&#8217;s Maple Grove home where sniffer dogs detected human remains in a crawl space that was no more than four feet tall and had a dirt floor in the basement.<br />
A second search warrant allowed police to dig in the crawl space and her body was found about a day later in the middle of the night after hours of digging.<br />
Police found the preliminary cause of death to be asphyxiation from a plastic bag taped over her head and nose.<br />
Maria&#8217;s parents, Bill Pew and Lissa Weimelt, said their adoptive daughter&#8217;s husband was controlling and that the two married after an intense and fast moving relationship.<br />
The heartbroken parents said that they believe the couple staying at their home during the coronavirus outbreak was not safe for their daughter.</p>
