5. He was having an affair too. She found out. They fought. He hit her in the face with a concrete

Flower pot.

The defendant reportedly told the police that he swung at his wife’s “face with a gallon-sized concrete flowerpot” filled with dirt, the Lebanon Reporter continued. When Mrs. Wilhoite fell to the ground, the defendant said he threw her into his truck, took her to a bridge, and threw her over the side, the newspaper reported (again citing court records). The defendant allegedly said he tossed the concrete pot along the side of U.S. Route 52 as he took a load of corn to town
