SELMER, Tenn. (AP) - The wife of a minister found shot to death in their church parsonage confessed to investigators and agreed to return to Tennessee to face first-degree murder charges, authorities said Friday.
Selmer Police Sgt. Roger Rickman said Mary Winkler confessed to the shooting, which he said happened on Wednesday. She then took the couple's three daughters to Alabama, where she and the children were found late Thursday.
"To my knowledge, the children saw nothing," Rickman said when asked if they witnessed their father's death.
