AMARILLO, Texas — A developer in the Amarillo area is charged with killing his estranged wife and leaving her body in a vehicle.
Paul David Gillette was in the Potter County Detention Center on Monday on a murder charge, with bail set at $1 million. Jail records had no listing of an attorney for the 47-year-old Gillette, who was arrested Sunday at the couple's residence.
Gillette, who created a financially troubled housing development in Bushland, is accused of killing 44-year-old Sherri Gillette.
Deputies were called to the home early Sunday on a report of a woman being assaulted.
Officer Jimmy Rifenberg with Potter-Randall Special Crimes Unit says Gillette allegedly put his wife's body in an SUV in the garage. Sherri Gillette filed for divorce last November.
