And the Hey everyone welcome back to Crime Weekly News. I'm Derek Lovasser and I'm

Stephanie Harlow. Real quick thank you to everybody who went over to Criminal Coffee Co and purchased the decaf coffee, the stealth roast.

We're already getting low on it. So I got to order some more.

I did get a couple questions as far as K-Cups. As I said in the episode, they will be coming shortly.

just last week, and this is allegedly after already trying to kill her multiple times due to medical expenses so I'm sitting

Because if there's in any world a scenario where they knew he was attempting to do this, why was he left alone with her? So that's a question I'm

at right now. Why don't you give us the details and then we can discuss?

Okay, so here's the probable cause statement that was released May 4th, 2024.

And it says an independence man faces a felony charge for strangling his wife and causing

her death as she was lying in an independence hospital bed this weekend.

Jackson County prosecutor Gene Peters Baker announced today.

Ronnie Wiggs faces murder in the second degree.

According to court records filed today, the defendant told police he

killed the victim who had come to the hospital for a new port for dialysis. He said he choked

her and covered her nose and mouth to keep her from screaming.
