YPSILANTI, Mich. (WJBK) - Police describe 23-year-old Katharine Mishler as a cold and calculated killer. The young woman from Kentucky lived at a Ypsilanti apartment complex with her 20-year-old husband, Samuel.
Sheriff's deputies got a 911 call at 1:47 a.m. Wednesday from Mishler saying she had shot an intruder who broke in, but police say it was all a lie.
"There had been some form of an altercation, some argument that had escalated," said Derrick Jackson with the Washtenaw County Sheriff's Department. "As it escalated, at some point she pulled the gun and actually pulled the trigger and shot him."
Right now, the sheriff's department is not releasing the 911 call, but they say it's a key piece of evidence in this case that shows how caculated Mishler's actions really were.
During her video arraignment, the detective told the judge Mishler later admitted her husband did not threaten or hurt her and did not deserve what happened.
The victim's family members watched the arraignment in stunned silence and left without talking to reporters.
Police and neighbors say the couple had no apparent history of problems.
Police believe Mishler is a flight risk and a danger to the community. She's being held without bond and could face life in prison.
