A few details coming out about mid-Missouri murder case
A few details are emerging in the murder case of a mid-Missouri man accused of killing three and wounding another.
Police haven’t released much information about the case against 23-year-old Joshua Maylee of Holts Summit, but court records indicate Maylee had “negative dealings” with both couples he apparently targetted. Documents state that 41-year-old Gina Werdehausen told investigators that she was shot in the neck after going outside her Holts Summit home Tuesday night to check on a disturbance. She couldn’t identify the shooter, but gave police a description of the man who then entered the home and killed her husband, 46-year-old Jeffrey Werdehausen.
