The estranged wife of an FBI agent has been charged with murdering her husband after his body was found in the front yard of his home in Maryland.
Anne Reed Allen, 62, faces up to life in prison if convicted in connection with the death of her estranged husband, Scott Alan Horn, a 62-year-old retired special agent, the New York Daily News reports.
She has been charged with first-degree murder, second-degree murder, conspiracy to commit murder, and the use of a handgun in a crime of violence.
The husband was found with major trauma to his upper body outside of his Laurel home on March 16.
Allen’s attorney, Andrew Jezic, says his client is innocent and was working on her marriage when her husband was killed.
“They had filed for divorce and then got back together, and they withdrew their divorce filing,” he told WTOP. “Then they both refiled for divorce and then they got back together. So this was a marriage that had troubles but was a marriage that underway in trying to be repaired.”
