英国《每日邮报》报导,穆利斯(ToddMullis)和老婆艾米(Amy)于2004年结婚,婚后两人育有3名子女,分别是13岁、8岁的儿子,及一名11岁的女儿。一家五口住在爱荷华州东部的农场,平日种植玉米、饲养猪。然而穆利斯于2013年得知艾米外遇后,两人关?开始变差,也开始分房睡。在去年夏天,艾米又被穆利斯发现,另有新的噼腿对象。

去年11月10日,穆利斯联络救护车声称,他的13岁儿子发现艾米被人用4爪的玉米耙刺穿身体,他赶紧将她送医,但老婆伤重不治。但警方后来发现,艾米早就担心老公会杀她,她曾告诉友人:「离婚后我可以得到一半的农场,但我老公担心离婚会失去农场」、「(我老公)可能会对我做一些事情」。她的第二名外遇对象更透露,艾米去年曾说,如果噼腿被抓包,老公可能令她「被消失」。还有一名朋友指证:「艾米说过,如果外遇又被发现,老公会杀了她喂猪」。
