A Louisiana fire captain accused of killing his wife was found dead hundreds of miles away in Colorado.
Rudolf “Rudi” Shoats, 48, had been accused in the slaying of his wife, 45-year-old Khristie Rollins Shoats, on July 30, according to The Associated Press.
Sheriff Reginald Jackson of Wilkinson County, Miss., says Rudolf pulled into an emergency parking lot in Durango, Colorado.
Later, employees at a store nearby heard a loud bang. Shoats’ vehicle then plunged down a cliff and flipped over.
Rudolf died of a single gunshot wound, Jackson told AP.
