Narrator/Host

Investigators say they choose a place familiar to Alden.

Alden was living not far from here.

How far away was he?

As the crow flies, about a half a mile.

The reason they picked this area was he was familiar with it because he had been back here doing some target shooting.

That's how he even knew that this place existed.

I had enough probable cause at that time to charge him with the arson and the conspiracy to commit the arson.

That allowed me to arrest him, Alden, and arrest Wymonk and get my hands on him and get him back to Fayetteville.

With both men in custody, the focus now switches back to John Wymonk and what possible motive could he have to kill his wife?

Investigators believe the answer to that question lies in what they were told about John's alleged violent treatment of Holly.

We came out a couple of weeks on vacation to visit Holly, a couple of weeks before she was murdered.

And I met him again once there.

I just really didn't have a sense that there was anything until she began talking about a divorce.

Authorities come to learn that Holly filed for a protective order against John Wymonk in May, less than two months before she was killed, in which she alleged a chilling encounter with her husband.

We discovered that there had been an incident in the prior months leading up to this where he had threatened suicide and also held a gun to her head.

To her head?

Correct.

Threatening to kill her?

Yes.

After Holly did not show up for a court hearing on the protective order, the case was dismissed.
