Man charged with placing woman's body in storage drum competent to stand trial

WARREN, Mich. – A suburban Detroit man charged with killing his girlfriend and concealing her body in a plastic drum will stand trial.

Scott Wobbe had undergone a mental health evaluation and Tuesday was deemed competent to go to trial. Wobbe is charged with first-degree murder, kidnapping and mutilation of a dead body. His preliminary exam is set for Feb. 20.

Theresa DeKeyzer's body was found in September in a drum at a storage site in Plymouth Township. The 22-year-old woman lived 33 miles away in Warren and hadn't been seen for much of the summer.

"She was a very loving, positive, caring person. We miss her. We are just not whole without her," said Theresa DeKeyzer's sister, Leah.
