Police: Man killed fiancee day before wedding
WINTER SPRINGS, Fla. — Police say a Florida man who thought there was an intruder in his house shot and killed his fiancee the day before they were to get married.
Winter Springs Police Chief Kevin Brunelle says the shooting appears to be a “tragic accident,” but investigators were waiting for forensic results.
Sixty-two-year-old John Tabutt (ta-bit) told investigators he thought he heard an intruder early Friday morning, got his gun and fired at a figure in the dark hallway.
He struck his live-in fiancee, 62-year-old Nancy Dinsmore. Family members say the couple planned to get married Saturday in a small ceremony.
Tabutt said he thought she was next to him in bed the whole night. He has not been charged.
Winter Springs is about 15 miles northeast of Orlando.

I am commenting on this story because I am hoping the local police are familiar with an FBI article concerning 911 calls. There are some things that are very concerning to me about the call that I outline on my website, spyingforlying.com/2009/10/man-shot-and-killed-woman-he-was-to.html |
