ELIZABETHTOWN, Ky (WISH) - Neighbors are painting a whole new picture of why a Noblesville woman was found dead inside a Kentucky hotel room.
The woman's husband told police he was helping in his wife's suicide. 45-year-old Michele Daughtrey was found dead in a hotel room at Holiday Inn Express over the weekend.
Lonnie and Michele Daughtrey lived in a Noblesville apartment complex for at least four years but were recently evicted.
Police arrested Lonnie Daughtery, 37, at the hotel in Elizabethtown, Ky. Detectives say he strangled his wife and killed the family cat. Lonnie Daughetry had superficial injuries as well. He's facing charges of murder and animal cruelty.
"From what I knew she had cancer, and they just found out and she's lived with a lot of different types of health problems," friend Michele Hendricks said.
"She had a plan, I don't think that he would ever kill his wife out of cold blooded murder, Michele had a plan, that's what she told so many people this time," Hendricks added.
"They said they were headed to Memphis, she wanted to spend the last few weeks of her life on the road, and seeing things she may have never seen before. They told me she had three to six weeks," neighbor Daniel Spurlock said.
Police in Kentucky said they wouldn't release much information, however they did talk to the local paper and told them that Lonnie didn't give a reason for his wife wanting to commit suicide.
