CUMBERLAND CO., Tenn. (WTVF) — A Crossville man is charged with killing his wife Sunday morning, following a TBI investigation.

Officials say Crossville Police responded to a Village Lane apartment complex after receiving a hang-up 911 call. Officers found the body of Sante Cecilia Amrvocio Mendez in a wooded area behind the complex. She and her husband, Rony Noe Ambrocio Cruz, lived there.

A joint investigation led officers to charge Cruz with first degree murder in this case. He's being held without bond.
