Fort Campbell Soldier Suspect In Wife's Death
KENTUCKY...
A Fort Campbell soldier whose wife was found dead at their home on post is being held in jail.
Sgt. Karon Coker of the Christian County sheriff's department says 25-year-old Spc. Robert Spencer Jenks III was being held at the county jail as a "federal prisoner held in transit." Coker told The Courier-Journal that the jail routinely houses federal prisoners for Fort Campbell.
Spokesman Chris Gray of the Army Criminal Investigation Division in Virginia declined to say whether Jenks has been questioned or is a suspect in the death of 21-year-old Linzi R. Jenks. Officials also declined to give information about the suspected cause of Jenks' death or the investigation.
Linzi Jenks, formerly of Clark County, Ind., was found dead in the couple's home at the post on the Kentucky-Tennessee line near Hopkinsville.
Robert Jenks, who joined the Army in January 2008, is from Floyds Knobs, Ind.
