Suspect Arrested In Covington Homicide Case - Cincinnati News Story - WLWT Cincinnati

Yes, looks like I jumped the gun. I was trying to put 2 & 2 together.

It almost has to be either be that, a current employee that is upset, or some type of "love interest." After that we move to random killing which is even scarier.

 

Anyone have anymore details?

 

I grew up on Idaho Avenue, the next street over from Virginia, where she lived in Ft. Mitchell. My parents still live there, and I have friends who live on Virginia and knew the Mockbees well. My girlfriend's father is a UPS driver who delivered to the business where Michelle and her husband are employed on Empire Drive for about a decade. My girlfriend's father said that knowing what he knows of the building where they work, it would be nearly impossible to gain entry to the building without being specifically let in by someone with the approved security clearance. I also spoke to my parents and my friends separately and both parties said that the husband is being investigated as a suspect. I'm not sure what exactly, if anything, that would mean, as I'm sure that in such a circumstance it's probably pretty regular procedure for the husband to be investigated in that manner, but it's interesting nonetheless.

 

Also, has anyone heard anything on how she was killed? From what I've been told, the scene was fairly nasty.

Investigating a spouse/significant other/etc. is pretty standard.

 

Also, I did a quick look at some crime stats and found the following:

 

The odds seem to indicate that these cases are not isolated incidents. According to 2008 data from the FBI, the odds a victim of a solved murder was in an intimate relationship with the murderer are 1 in 5.94. Murders by a spouse make up a large proportion of these cases, and much more often than not the murderer is the husband. While the odds the victim of a solved murder was the murder’s wife are 1 in 13.71, the odds the victim was the murderer’s husband are only 1 in 66.49. The killing of one’s wife has been so prevalent throughout the centuries that The Merriam-Webster Online Dictionary traces the word uxoricide—murder of a wife by her husband—back to 1733.

I will assume that the % of time that the husband murdered the wife at her place of employment has to be close to zero. Very rare , right?

Clyde, I am not sure I understand your point, all cases are unique. And if it is the husband doing the murdering, what difference does it make where the crime was committed?

 

I also saw some older data from the 90s that said about 26 to 30% of time a woman is murdered she is murdered by her husband.

First person I assume to check is the husband which is supported by your data. I was saying that IF it was indeed the husband here then it would be a very rare case where the husband killed his wife at her place of employment. I would assume that the vast majority of cases where it's the husband take place at the home.

 

Playing TV detective that fact, if true, could be the thinking of a husband who wanted to throw off the scent.

 

For those on here that are close to the family I'm speaking in generalities and not saying this guy did anything. I was simply replying to Guru's stats.

I am not saying the husband did anything either, just talking general detective work here.

 

Clyde, the media reported the husband worked at the same place which may increase the odds.

 

Murders like this may be a crime of passion, a crime of opportunity, or a calculated act. I really think in all three cases the location is the location is the location.

 

Clyde, the majority of auto accidents also happen within a short distance of where we live for the same reason most spouse murders probably happen at home and that is because that is where we spend most of our time. In other words, I wouldn't read too much into location.

Oops. Egg on my face.

Not really Clyde and I think it is a good point to bring up about location only because I don't think location means as much as we may assume.

The timeline shows that the husband was at home with the kids when Michelle went in to work. She went in early to collect time sheets and I assume to process payroll. She was found with the time sheets scattered about her. Dan (the husband) found out about what happened when he showed up to work at Fisher a short time later. I saw Dan at the funeral home last night and he was very distraught and understandably so. I have talked to a relative close to the case and he will not divulge a peep. They do have some very strong information is all I have heard. I was so proud of the Beechwood community last night as they showed up in droves to show their support including most of the school administration.

Thanks for the update bjaynes.

 

I did hear (but can't definitely confirm) that according to someone close to the husband, the husband passed a polygraph test.

Same here Guru, my understanding is that the husband is still on the suspect list (which I would think is normal in cases like this) but he is at the very bottom at this point.

I've heard the husband has been cleared. I also heard the time she went in was earlier than normal. Maybe she saw something that someone didn't want seen. I'm just speculating on that though.

From what I understand, she went in early on days when she had to collect time sheets and process payroll which could have been weekly or bi-weekly.
