The fiance of an Ohio art student who went missing nearly 13 years ago has pleaded guilty to involuntary manslaughter. John Carter had been charged with two counts of murder when he was arrested in March 2023. He now faces up to three years in prison when he’s sentenced July 18. The charges stemmed from the August 2011 disappearance of Katelyn Markham, who was last seen at her home in Fairfield. Skeletal remains identified as Markham’s were found in 2013 in a wooded area in Cedar Grove, Indiana, about 20 miles west of her home. Authorities ruled her death a homicide.
