Nancy, that's Alvaredo high school teacher, Shanna Valorell, showing our TV news partners

of Fox 4 KDFW, one of hundreds of purple ribbons. She helped students make

bearing Miss Spiller's name. Police say Spillers, H-33, was found dead in her home on October 18th.

Her husband, 40-year-old Brandon Ashley, was later arrested in B-Dies in Grimes County about 150 miles south

of Alvarado after those reports of the half-naked man asking

for a shirt. Deputies said he seemed to be in a mental health crisis. Investigators said

Alvaredo police first went to the couple's home on a disturbance call. When they got there,

Ashley allegedly held a gun to his head. He was arrested for interfering with public duties and bonded out the

next morning. Two days later, officers were sent back for a welfare check. They found Spillers dead

inside the house. Her cause of death ruled blunt force trauma. For this to happen to her and the way

it happened, it's heartbreaking. Grimes County deputies said Ashley was found outside a

convenience store and B-Dies. He told officers he had hidden a gun nearby but refused to say where.

Deputies later found a 357 revolver and confirmed that he was wanted for murder out of Johnson County.

He was taken to the hospital for evaluation before being booked into the Grimes County Jail.

Michaela Norris is a former freshman and sophomore student of Ms. Spillers.
