Divorce or Murder, A Tough Decision
A man in Spokane, Washington wanted to avoid a divorce so he decided that murdering his wife would be a better choice. With Halloween coming up, it was just the right time to put his cunning plan into action.
Sean Jennings reportedly set up a haunted house in his garage and invited his wife to come have a look at it. He then allegedly had her climb a ladder to test a noose where a skeleton was supposed to hang. Mrs. Naive put her neck in the noose and then her husband pulled the ladder out from under her, according to police reports.
The woman still has bruises and rope burns on her neck from the incident. She says that at the last moment she was able to get out of the noose by promising her husband that she would give him a divorce and that she would not tell anyone that he tried to kill her.
She kept her promise not to tell until she called police from a Wal-Mart parking lot on October 9.
