First of all, We're learning more about Terry Lee Releford, the man who took his own life yesterday after being suspected of killing his pregnant wife in Soddy Daisy. Records show Releford choked and raped two women in Bradley County when he was 18 years old. He was locked up in prison for 15 years before being released last May. Two months after his release he married Tammy Releford. The sheriff's office says 35-year-old Tammy was in late pregnancy when her husband killed her at their home Sunday morning-- with her two daughters in the house. The sheriff says it appears Tammy was bludgeoned to death, but it's possible she was also shot. One of the girls managed to run next door to call for help. Terry fled the house and drove to Calhoun, Georgia. Investigators used a cell phone to track him to the Budget Inn, before he shot himself in the head Monday morning.
