OZARK, Ala. (AP) - An Alabama man accused in his wife’s 1990 death has a trial set for this summer.
The Dothan Eagle reports Carl Harris Jr. was charged in 2016 for the slaying of his wife, Tracy Harris. Ozark Police reopened the investigation into the death of Harris, who initially was reported missing March 7, 1990. Her body was found a week later in the Choctawhatchee River.
Lt. Jimmy Culbreath, supervisor of the police department’s cold case unit, says an autopsy determined Harris died by drowning. The report also noted bruising on her neck consistent with strangulation.
Culbreath says the couple divorced prior to her death, but apparently stayed together after the final decree.
Harris’ trial is scheduled for July 8. He has pleaded not guilty in the case.
