The investigation quickly identified Harris's wife, 39-year-old Lindsay Dawn Harris, as a person of interest.
She was subsequently arrested and charged with one count of first-degree murder. Lindsay Harris was booked into the Wilson County Sheriff's Office Corrections Facility, where she awaited an initial bond hearing.
