BEND, Ore. (AP) — A Bend man has made his first court appearance after being charged with the slaying of his wife.

The Bulletin reports police have not found the body of 48-year-old Lori Blaylock. She was reported missing by co-workers when she didn’t report for work Nov. 2. In their investigation, detectives began focusing on her husband, 46-year-old Steven P. Blaylock, and arrested him Wednesday.

Steven Blaylock appeared in court through a video link from the Deschutes County jail on Friday. He did not speak during the brief proceedings.

Jon Springer, Blaylock’s attorney, says prosecutors plan to take the case to a grand jury next week.

If indicted, Blaylock will be arraigned on Nov. 19.

Blaylock faces one count each of murder and first-degree manslaughter.
