Daniel Lee Brown, 44, was found unresponsive at his Fort Mitchell, Alabama, home on September 17, 2016. His wife, Lisa Brown, initially told a neighbor that he had taken his own life, but deputies from the Russell County Sheriff’s Office reported scene inconsistencies that did not match a suicide. Sheriff Heath Taylor said the evidence suggested a possible homicide and the investigation focused on the couple’s strained divorce and Lisa’s desire for Daniel to move out.

During questioning Lisa Brown gave a detailed statement confessing to killing her husband and was arrested and held without bail. Daniel had served more than 26 years in the National Guard, including deployments to Desert Storm, Afghanistan, and Pakistan, worked as a production operator at West Rock in Cottonton, and was a member of Cottonton Baptist Church. His funeral was held September 26, 2016, and he was buried at Fort Mitchell National Cemetery.
