Woman Accidentally Shoots Husband In Head, Leaves Body In 3 Different Counties
The remains of a Scottsdale man whose wife admitted to accidentally killing him last year have been located in three separate parts of Arizona, police confirmed Thursday.Police verified through DNA testing on Sept. 30 that the human remains found in three different counties over the course of a week late last year all were that of Dwight Tobyne. The remains were found in December 2009 by different individuals who were participating in outdoor activities in desert areas in La Paz, Pinal and Maricopa counties. Suspect Shari Tobyne, Dwight's wife, is facing a first-degree murder charge along with the original charge of abandonment of a human body, Pubins said. On Aug. 14, Shari confessed to detectives that she accidentally shot her husband in the head in November with a 9 mm pistol while inside their Scottsdale residence. Shari told police she planned on taking her own life because Dwight wanted to separate and end their 35-year marriage. Shari changed her story a few times with investigators, first saying she shot Dwight in the arm, then eventually saying she shot him in the head when he tried to grab the gun away from her as she lay down next to him on the bed in the couple's apartment, police said. Court documents say Shari said she was afraid no one would believe the death was accidental, so she wrapped Dwight's body in bedding, dragged him to the garage and then wrapped him in a tarp. She then put him into the backseat of her car and dumped his body in the desert. Scottsdale police began investigating the case this summer after Tobyne's adult children called to report their father missing. They had not heard from him since November 2009. Shari told them that their father had left her and was possibly living in Mexico. Scottsdale police arrested Shari after she made statements implicating herself in the circumstances surrounding the death of her husband and the disposing of his body sometime between Nov. 24 and Nov. 28, 2009, Pubins said. Police have been searching for Dwight Tobyne's body since her admission, initially saying they were focusing on areas along Arizona 87, the Beeline Highway, northeast of the Valley, based on Shari Tobyne's statements. And some parts of her husband may have been marinated, slow roasted, then thin sliced and served with chipotle mayonnaise on submarine sandwiches to unsuspecting Subway customers in several cities.
