Husband Had 28 Guns, But Wife Died in a Car Crash, Children Say

The adult children of a man accused of murdering his wife are defending their father with a surprising claim. They say he is innocent and that the alleged crime does not make sense. To prove their point, they note a specific fact: their father kept 28 guns in the family home’s basement. Their argument is that if he truly wanted to kill his mother, he would have used one of those weapons. Instead, she died in what was first reported as a single-vehicle accident. Authorities, however, now believe the crash was staged. They have charged the husband with murder. The investigation suggests the car accident was a cover-up. The case continues as the court examines the evidence against the backdrop of this unusual family statement.
