That was a catalyst that caused her for the first time to reach out to someone other than her physician to discuss the case. Now the police were able to look at that case through an entirely different perspective. Through the eyes of a man who was unhappy in his marriage, now we have a motive. The first step when you reopen a closed case is to go back and look at what you already have.
There was no signs of forced entry. Not only that, but Roger Harrington left what was clearly could be used as weapons inside the vehicle.
There was a tire iron. They also found a knife inside of his vehicle.
Mark Wenger wanted to kill his wife, and then opportunity presented when Roger Harrington drove Donna Wenger, and he told Deanne that he needed to get that man into his house, and that's exactly what he did.
Mark Winger had stated that Roger Harrington was kneeling down right next to Donna Winger's head and he was beating her with a hammer. He stated that he shot him and that the man fell backwards so that his feet remained near Donna's head. In reality, the Polaroid photographs show the exact opposite. And as such, there's no way this murder could have happened the way Mark Winger described.
The physical evidence, along with the fact of the affair, it was clear that this was a staged domestic homicide.
Susan Collins had been briefly spoken to initially, and she had claimed that she was present when Roger Harrington fielded a phone call from someone asking to meet him the day of the murders.
Police found a note inside of the vehicle. It was a bank deposit slip, and on the back was the time of 4.30 PM, the address, and the name Mark Winger. Roger Harrington was not an intruder, but rather he was lured into that home by Mark Winger.
Mr. Winger made some comments about perhaps it would be easier if his wife were dead.
We were conducting an exhaustive investigation. During that same time frame, Mark Winger was a free man.
We knew the stakes of this case. This was a big case. And it was one that on the front end, some mistakes had been made. So we knew that on the second go around, we had to have it right.
The moment he was indicted, we moved from the investigative phase into the next chapter, which was prosecution.
And for us, it was very simple. If it's a meeting, it's a murder.
It's our belief that Roger comes to the house, he is allowed into the home, and there was no signs of forced entry. And he was executed at that time. Hearing the gunshot, Donna Winger then comes from the bedroom to investigate. He then beats his wife to death with a hammer. Mark then calls 911.
In the 911 call, you can actually hear Roger Harrington moaning in the background.
It's our belief that Roger is not dead at the time.
He told the 911 operator that he could hear his baby crying.
He had already said that he had shot the man and there was a bullet in his head. When police arrive, there's two bullets in his head.
Deanne Schultz's testimony was able to demonstrate that in reality, Mark was obviously unhappy, was unfaithful, and who had specifically talked about wanting to kill his wife.
Deanne Schultz was granted immunity for her testimony. There was no direct evidence that linked Deanne to actively participating in this crime, but at the end, she was such a valuable witness as it relates to presenting the motive.
