Inside their Delaney Park home, Tronnes told investigators he found his wife in the shower—but during interrogation, police called him a bad liar.

The medical examiner’s report shows she died of blunt force trauma to the head and strangulation.

Crime scene photos obtained by Channel 9′s Jeff Deal show that even though the couple’s bed and the top of the slats in the bed appear clean, there are blood stains on the edges of the slats.

Earlier this year, Tronnes was found incompetent to stand trial, but doctors then cleared him in June.
