Former military policeman Christopher Anthony Wilaby told a chilling story of how he strangled his married, stripper girlfriend five years ago, loaded her body into her car and drove onto Fort Riley, Kan., where he sank the car to the bottom of Moon Lake.

In a confession to agents of the FBI and the U.S. Army Criminal Investigation Command, Wilaby, 26, told how he choked Echo May Wiles to death in Junction City, Kan., during an argument over her breaking up with him.

Wilaby now stands charged in the death of Echo Wiles, the 20-year-old wife of Joshua D. Wiles, then a deployed soldier and now a civilian employee of the Army.

“She meant the world to me,” Joshua Wiles said in a Dec. 9 phone conversation with Army Times. “I loved her, and she told me she had messed up a lot but she wanted to make things right, work it out, go to marriage counseling.”

Wilaby, assigned to the 977th Military Police Company, 97th MP Battalion at Fort Riley, entered the Army in 2003 and was administratively discharged in August 2005 at the rank of private first class, said a post spokesman. According to investigators, Wilaby was disciplined for going absent without leave and for assaulting Echo Wiles.
