PORTAGE, MI - As investigators worked to locate Christopher Lockhart's missing wife, Lockhart was busy chasing other women and not helping police until he ultimately killed himself five months later.

When Portage police first contacted Lockhart about his missing wife on May 20, he said Theresa Lockhart came home the evening of May 18, packed her bags and said she would be leaving. He told police she had "done this before a few years ago," where she would leave home to seek treatment or clear her head.

The police reports surrounding Theresa Lockhart's disappearance, Christopher Lockhart's suicide and confession and the hand-drawn map pointing police to the location of her body were among more than 200 pages MLive/Kalamazoo Gazette obtained from Portage Public Safety Friday through the Freedom of Information Act.

[h=1]New law could help solve missing persons cases[/h]

PORTAGE, Mich. - A new bill signed into law by Governor Rick Snyder last week is increasing the efforts made to find missing people.

The bill which was introduced by State Rep. Tommy Brann will require Michigan law enforcement officials to share missing person information on a national database.
"By police having to put that information in immediately when a missing person report gets filed, I believe it’s going to change the game," Kellie Yunginger, said.

For the last few years, Yunginger, a missing persons advocate, has been doing what she can to help families that deal with a miserable mystery.
Most recently she helped out in the search for Theresa Lockhart, whose body was found in Allegan County. Lockhart's husband admitted to the murder in a suicide note.
