A man who turned himself into authorities in Ohio and allegedly confessed to killing his wife back in North Carolina reportedly left an eerie note behind at the scene of the crime.
Jeffrey Myers Lacortiglia, 43, is said to have walked into the Hamilton Township Police Department in Ohio Sunday morning and told authorities that he shot his wife.
The man allegedly told police that the body should be in the married couple’s master bedroom back in Spring Lake, North Carolina. Hamilton Township police then contacted the Harnett County Sheriff's Office around noon, The Daily Record reported.
