Texas wife’s unnerving text to sister before she was found shot in head
Brittany Powell was found shot dead in her home in Quitman, Texas, three days after telling her sister she was “not good” following an argument with her husband. Police allege Weldon Powell killed her and brought her body into the house; he has been charged with murder.
Her brother-in-law requested a welfare check on 4 November after she missed work, which he said was out of character. The landlord found her body in the bathroom while checking on the couple’s cat; blood smears near the bedroom led police to suspect she had been killed elsewhere. Weldon Powell fled after arriving at the property and was later arrested; he is being held on a $1 million bond.
In short
- Brittany Powell told her sister she was “not good” three days before her death.
- Police suspect she was killed elsewhere and her body moved into the home.
- Her husband has been charged with murder and is held on $1 million bond.
