A Nigerian man has been declared wanted in Houston, Texas for the murder of a missing woman after investigators say he purchased suspicious items and searched various ways to get rid of a body.

Chukwuebuka Nwobodo, 28, was charged yesterday, June 13 in connection with the murder of Felicia Johnson, 24, who disappeared after leaving a hotel in Houston on April 16, according to police.

Detectives with the Houston Police Department say they believe Nwobodo killed Felicia soon after and disposed of her body “within the next few days.”

Court records sighted by Afrotimesnews.com state that Felicia was seen on hotel surveillance camera leaving around 3:00 a.m. and getting in an Uber ordered for her by Nwobodo, which the company's records allegedly reflect was to take her to a Windchase Boulevard apartment complex where Nwobodo had lived between 2017 and 2020.

Felicia had reportedly come to Houston from her home in California for a job interview but, when she arrived, she was reportedly turned away.

Police say they found online advertisements with her picture on various sex worker websites, including one made on a site called "skipthegame" shortly before she disappeared.

As the Uber took Felicia to the complex, surveillance video allegedly captured the suspect driving from his South Richmond Avenue residence to his former apartment building.

The Uber arrived just minutes after Nwobodo allegedly did, before “an individual matching the description of Felicia” is seen exiting the Uber and heading toward the entrance, where Nwobodo was parked.

Police say Nwobodo then brought Felicia back to his current apartment, less than two miles away.

“Evidence indicates Nwobodo killed Felicia inside his apartment before disposing her personal effects in Bear Creek Pioneers Park,” said police. “It is believed he disposed of Felicia ’s body at some point within the next few days.”

Police confiscated Nwobodo’s phone during his May 13 arrest. A later warranted search of his Google accounts revealed several dubious internet searches, including how to dispose of a body and destroy evidence, as well as a photo of a dismembered woman's body and a picture of Felicia 's Uber pickup spot and the car that had picked her up.

Court records state that Nwobodo searched “how to delete your history completely” a week after that, as well as the cheapest places in the world to live on a $1,000-per-month budget. He also looked up “How does one plan a murder without getting caught” and “how to get away with murder.”

On May 3, he searched for how missing person cases are handled and whether police can get access to dead people's text messages.
Surveillance video from a local Wal-Mart allegedly showed Nwobodo — with a bandaged hand — April 16 and 17, buying items including towels, trash bags and a flashlight, according to court records.

He also bought a pruning saw from Home Depot.

Felicia ’s father, Kevin Johnson, has created a GoFundMe page to raise funds so that he can continue to stay in Texas and search for his daughter.

I hope you saw how they dug up his online activities history.... . *Just saying*......

This guy appears to be a career criminal. Which is not surprising considering he chose to live in the South.

The worst most violent places in America are mainly in the south. It's a region with less education, less opportunity, and a backwards culture that encourages people to be a bum. It's also a place where it's easier to get away with crime because of those same qualities.

Regardless, this guy is in the minority. Most Nigerians are very conservative and work far harder than most Americans, and everyone knows it.

But what will make you kill a hoe?? She bleeped you well you pay her she leaves its that simple..

Americans are witch-hunting us because they are afraid of our success

I read an update. This guy is a suspected serial killer as pictures of other dead women were found in his phone.
