Justin Rey
The Desert Sun reports that  Justin Rey  was charged Wednesday with murder in the death of Sean Ty Ferel. The Palm Springs  California  man disappeared in May 2016 after vacationing with  Rey . Three months later   Rey  crashed Ferel's vehicle in Los Angeles. Ferel's body hasn't been found  but his blood was in the trunk  and his belongings were found in an Arizona storage unit that  Rey  had rented.
 Rey  allegedly used Ferel's credit cards  cash  personal financial information and car "for  his  own benefit" after the killing  according to the murder charges obtained by CBS affiliate KCTV.
 Rey  is jailed on $1 million bond in Kansas on child endangerment charges.  He 's also charged with abandonment of corpse in Missouri  where  his  wife died in a hotel in October apparently after giving birth in a bathtub.  Rey   his then-pregnant wife  Jessica Monteiro Rey  and their two-year-old daughter checked in to the Kansas City hotel in September and were staying there for several weeks before the woman's death.
Missouri and Kansas court records don't say how she died  and  Rey  provided conflicting information.  Rey  said that  his  wife committed suicide after giving birth and also that she died during or after childbirth  according to a probable cause affidavit obtained by the Kansas City Star.
After the woman's death   he  said  he  placed her body on the bed and took pictures of  himself  and the children with her body  the paper reports.  He  said  he  stayed with the newborn and toddler in the room for two more days before  he  moved her back to the bathtub  where  he  allegedly dismembered her body with the children present.
 Rey  put some of  her  body parts in a large cooler  a Kansas City police detective wrote in the probable cause statement.  He  used a stove to boil parts that wouldn't fit in the cooler and flushed some of remains down the toilet  the statement says.
Hotel management said  Rey  tried to disguise  his  voice as a woman's when  he  called the front desk to check out on Oct. 23  the statement says. Surveillance video footage shows  him  pulling a red cooler with a black bag on top through the hotel  while pushing a stroller with a toddler walking beside  him .
Police found the remains on Oct. 24 inside a cooler and tote at a U-Haul Moving and Storage facility in nearby Lenexa  Kansas  after  Rey  slept there with the children. Emergency responders checked on the children  who were later taken to a hospital. The affidavit says the baby wasn't wearing adequate clothing and had an eye infection.
After  Rey  was arrested and put in a police vehicle  he was asked about his wife's whereabouts. He responded that she had died several days earlier and was in the cooler and one of the totes  which he had been trying to remove from the storage unit  according to the Kansas court records.
During a court appearance earlier this month   Rey  was removed after a screaming rant against authorities. The Kansas City Star reports an irate  Rey  yelled that Johnson County authorities were trying to take his children after his wife killed herself. A judge ordered him removed from the courtroom  saying  "That's enough."
"I don't care if it's enough because I have my children out there "  Rey  said  according to KCTV. "Their mother just killed herself  and you guys are going to kidnap my children  our children."
