Police: Husband Suspected Of Killing Wife

FORT WORTH (CBSDFW.COM) - More than one month after a woman was found fatally wounded inside her Fort Worth home, police have announced they suspect her husband is responsible for her death. The call originally came in as a suicide.

On Jan. 31, police went to a home in the 6100 block of Forest Lane on a suspected suicide call. Officers found Larissa Easley, 45, with a gunshot wound to the neck. She was taken to John Peter Smith Hospital, where she was later pronounced dead.

Cpl. Tracey Knight, a spokeswoman with Fort Worth police, said an investigation into her death led police to suspect Easley's death wasn't a suicide.

Authorities said Jerry Moore, 47, was the only other person inside the home at the time the victim suffered the deadly wound.

Moore was taken into custody in connection to Easley's death on Thursday.

Easley owned the Hilltop Montessori School in Fort Worth.
