Utah Husband Conrad Truman Faces Trial in Wife's Murder

— -- A Utah man on trial for murdering his wife after watching the TV show “Dexter” was forced to watch his police interrogation tape in court Thursday.

Conrad Truman, 32, appears uncomfortable in the taped interrogation, at times rambling as police interrogated him about the 2012 shooting in which Heidy Truman was killed.

“No f------ chance … I’ve got nothing to gain with a dead wife,” he tells detectives when they ask if he was responsible for her death.

The Orem, Utah, resident is accused of shooting his wife in the head after a night of drinking and watching “Dexter,” a television show about a serial killer. Truman can be heard shrieking and speaking incomprehensively in his 911 call.

"She was in the shower, she came out of the shower, I heard a pop, and there's blood. It's her blood," Truman told the 911 dispatcher."She's choking," he added.

After the frantic call, police initially thought they were responding to a suicide. But police said when they arrived, Truman was behaving oddly.

"The defendant is asked by Sgt. Crook what happened and the response from the defendant was, ‘If she dies, I will kill you and everyone you know,’” prosecutor Ryan Peters told jurors.

Truman told police there was a chance his wife may have killed herself by accident or that someone outside the home may have shot her through the window despite there being no bullet hole. His attorney Ron Yengich says he was upset and had been drinking – that’s why his story changed.

“This is a fairly hyper young man, not greatly educated, kind of a country boy who’s drunk, who’s trying to react to what he sees,” Yengich said.

Prosecutors claim Truman killed his wife to collect nearly $1 million in insurance benefits. He has pleaded not guilty.
