'She Never Should've Gone Back': Cape Town Teacher Murdered By Husband In US

Kim White Towne met Alexander Towne in the glitzy whirlwind of Dubai – she was teaching, he was in the military. Sparks flew fast.

But what looked like a fairytale was hiding some dark truths. Kim’s brother, Jason White from Parklands in Cape Town, says the red flags were there from the start. Then came that call – May 25, straight to 911.

“I don’t think she’s with us any longer.”

Just like that, 32-year-old Alexander Towne told emergency services to come to his home in Chantilly, West Virginia.

The article says that the couple lived in Chantilly, WEST Virginia. I've never heard of a Chantilly here in West Virginia, but when the article said that he had an analyst job in Falls Church, West Virginia, I knew that it was wrong. They are from Virginia, near DC.

Don't blame the hillbillies this time!
