Cristie M. Schoen Codd (September 3, 1976 — March 12, 2015) was a Spanish-born chef. She came to prominence as a contestant in the eighth season of the Food Network series Food Network Star.
Schoen and her husband Joseph were reported missing on March 15, 2015, when their family was unable to reach them. An investigation by police led to the arrest of local contractor Robert Jason Owens, who was charged with their murders. Owens was also a person of interest in the disappearance of Zebb Quinn in 2000, and was eventually charged with Quinn's murder in 2017. The authorities undertook a search of Owens' property; the couple's remains were found in his woodstove.
