A Danish priest was charged with murder after his wife went missing. Police found chemicals at his home and search terms like 'disappeared' and 'cleaning.'

• Authorities charged Danish priest Thomas Gotthard with murder after his wife disappeared last October.
• Maria From Jakobsen's body wasn't found, but prosecutors say they have enough evidence.
• Investigators found suspicious web searches by Gotthard, including the terms "disappeared" and "cleaning," per the AP.

A Danish priest was on Monday charged with murder in connection to the October disappearance of his wife.

While the body of Maria From Jakobsen, 43, was never found, authorities believe they have enough evidence to take her husband, the Lutheran minister Thomas Gotthard to trial, prosecutor Anne-Mette Wedell Seerup told the Danish news agency Ritzau on Monday.

Gotthard, 44, has denied any wrongdoing, his lawyer told the Ekstra Bladet newspaper on Monday.

According to the Associated Press, investigators found in their search for From Jakobsen suspicious web searches by Gotthard, which included the search terms "disappeared," "oil barrel," "sea depth," "cleaning," and "suicide."

Investigators also said that Gotthard had a large amount of hydrochloric acid and caustic soda in his possession, the AP reported. The highly-corrosive chemicals have been used by killers in the past to dissolve bodies.

From Jakobsen, a psychologist, was last seen dropping their two children off at school on October 26, according to Ritzau. From Jakobsen's sister reported her missing three days later, when she failed to show up to a birthday party for one of the kids, the AP reported.

According to Ekstra Bladet, Gotthard had said his wife left their home in a "strongly depressed state," but her sister said she talked to From Jakobsen on the phone the morning she disappeared and she seemed happy.

From Jakobsen's unlocked car was found in Copenhagen with the keys in the ignition, Ekstra Bladet reported. The police said she left behind her phone, computer, and credit cards, the AP reported.

The police found that Gotthard had been in the area where his wife's car was found, and didn't have a good explanation for it, according to Ekstra Bladet.

Investigators also found surveillance footage from a recycling station showing Gotthard disposing of a large blue feed barrel 11 days after his wife's disappearance, the AP reported.

Gotthard was arrested three weeks after his wife's disappearance, in November, and has been in police custody since then, the AP reported.

His trial begins October 25 and he remains in pretrial custody, the agency reported.
