A leader of the Democratic Party in Florida was found dead at her home last week, and her husband has already been charged with murder.

Colleagues at City Hall in Coral Springs, Florida, began to worry when Vice Mayor Nancy Metayer, 38, did not show up for a meeting at 8:30 a.m. Wednesday. Her husband, 40-year-old Stephen Bowen, responded to one individual’s inquiring text messages by indicating that he did not know where she was and claiming that “her car is not at home,” according to an arrest report.

A shocking murder case has rocked Coral Springs, Florida, after 38-year-old Democratic leader and Vice Mayor Nancy Metayer was found dead at her home, her body wrapped in blankets and black garbage bags, with police saying a burned pillow at the scene may have been used as a makeshift silencer. Her husband, 40-year-old Stephen Bowen, is already charged with murder after investigators say he misled worried colleagues about her whereabouts, while his uncle reportedly told police Bowen confessed to shooting his wife three times with a shotgun and said he “couldn’t take it anymore.”
