The manhunt for a northeast Georgia man accused of killing his wife is over after police said the suspect was found dead in Athens Monday.
Anthony Tyrone Appling, 42, shot himself to death after Jefferson police said he killed his estranged wife, Carlotta Appling. Anthony Appling drove to Carlotta Appling’s neighborhood in Jefferson early Monday morning, parked his truck and walked to her home where he shot her, Jefferson police Chief Joe Wirthman told The Atlanta Journal-Constitution.
He then took her car, and led authorities on a day-long manhunt until he was found dead near Clarke County High School in Athens.
Wirthman said police were still investigating whether there had been any previous domestic disturbances between the couple.
