Investigators said she died from blunt force trauma. Charging documents said Myron Strambler admitted killing his wife, saying he hit her with his hand and slammed her head into a wall.

KHOU said Strambler has an extensive criminal record that includes a conviction in 2021 for assaulting a family and a guilty plea in 2009 to two counts of raping a child. He served only four years for that crime.
