According to local sources, Gunsch admitted to grabbing Michels by the neck during the argument and throwing her against a wardrobe.

A police spokesperson condemned Gunsch’s actions, stating, “He simply dumped this victim’s body in front of [her] parents’ residence. Not only did he discard the cell phone, but also the victim’s body.” Authorities categorized Michels’ death as a homicide and promptly detained Gunsch, who was arrested on Sunday.

Known for her passion for fitness, Michels worked as a personal trainer since 2011. She shared fitness tips and routines on her social media platforms. Her brother fondly remembered her as a captivating and special person. She loved her job and spreading joy to those around her.
