UPDATE:
New information on the body of a woman found in the trunk of a car parked in the Jackson County Sheriff’s Department parking lot has surfaced. According to law enforcement, the Calhoun County Sheriff’s Department was searching for the vehicle early this morning after a man shot his estranged wife. Calhoun County Sheriff Glen Kimbrell said the man drove from Tallahassee to where his wife was staying in Calhoun County. It appears they got into an argument and he shot and killed her. The man then left the scene with the woman’s body in the trunk.
Sheriff Kimbrell said the man reached out to his children around 4:30 this morning, where one convinced him to turn himself in. He drove to the Jackson County Sheriff’s Department to do so. The Calhoun County Sheriff’s Office is in the process of interviewing the man at this time. Sheriff Kimbrell says the investigation is ongoing and they are working with the state attorney’s office to determine what his charges will be. They are also in touch with the German consulate in reference to the investigation.
