Husband Tries to Defend His Wife — Then the Police Shows the Evidence

A husband sits in an interrogation room, insisting his wife is innocent. He tells detectives she's a good person, that she wouldn't hurt anyone. But as the questioning continues, the story he tells about their life together begins to unravel in ways he doesn't seem to fully grasp.

The Husband's Account

The man being questioned is married to Ashley, a woman who has now been charged with murder. The victim is Taylor, a woman Ashley had been friends with—someone the husband says he grew increasingly suspicious of over time. He tells detectives he met Taylor about a year ago through work on cases, and that she initially seemed fine. But soon, he says, he started noticing things that bothered him.

"I just was not the queen she just wasn't like I would just pick her up pick up the lies from her," he says. He describes Taylor disappearing for days at a time, being unreachable by phone, and spending unusually long periods in the bathroom at his house. He concluded she had a drug problem. "I don't associate with that," he says firmly. "I'm still trying to get on with an agency. I don't go around that for years I didn't talk to my own brother because of the lifestyle they live."
