David Anthony a 43 year old from Jupiter is currently being held without bond at a Palm Beach County jail on charges of kidnapping and second-degree murder in death of Gretchen, his 51-year-old wife whose body has not yet been found.

In its report, WPTV said, Anthony, who was apprehended on March 31, about 1,900 miles away in New Mexico, is suspected to have killed his wife 10 days before his arrest.

After several days from the suspected slaying, the arrest report which the said station obtained said, at least five individuals received alarming text messages allegedly sent by Gretchen specifically on March 23 and 24.

Disturbing Messages

In one of the messages sent, the woman said she was on quarantine for two weeks after she was infected with what she described as "an acute case of COVID-19."

More so, the said messages specified she was being held by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, or CDC, as indicated on another text read, after her illness, police said, was detected at the Jupiter medical Center.

The suspect, for his part, told the Jupiter authorities that his wife was undergoing treatment at the hospital for COVID-19.

However, the hospital records showed there were no indications that Gretchen was indeed, there, although the station reported, her blue Mini Cooper was reportedly found in its parking lot.

Later on, one of the couple's neighbors told the police she heard a loud scream, seemingly complaining of pain.

Cops' Discovery

Inside Gretchen's home, investigators discovered a rag in the kitchen and two bottles of disinfecting solution. They also found towels with "reddish substance" the police suspected as blood.

A video from Gretchen's home showed a person, police suspected as her estranged husband who, they said, was carrying an object that could not be identified.

Additionally, a broken glass frame was discovered, as well, on Gretchen's home, specifically on the upstairs landing. There were also few small pieces of glass were found as well on the comforter inside the master bedroom.

Other what was seen in the towels, the investigators said they also found seemingly "small droplets of blood in the master bedroom."

Also according to the report, Gretchen walked onto the porch "before muffled yelling" was heard. The garage surveillance camera then "showed a blood-so soaked hair" on a stock-still body as the suspect police said, was seek walking in the background.

The Suspect's Claim

According to Anthony's arrest report, on March 30, the Jupiter police detective received a call from him who said, his wife was being treated for COVID-19. He also said, Gretchen had exposed "illegal tax fraud" at the company she was working at, and that she contacted the IRS about it.

The suspect also said, as indicated in the arrest report that Gretchen was scared for her life and that someone "went to her house to hurt her."

The authorities issued an arrest warrant for Anthony and ultimately, he got tracked down at a 1,900-mile distance in Mexico.

Meanwhile, a judge in Palm Beach County denied on Thursday, bond for Anthony, and directed him to have no contact which includes via phone calls with the witnesses or family of the victim.

The authorities also announced that anybody who knows any information that can help the investigators can also get in touch with the Jupiter Police Department at 561-741-2235.
