In a case with a lot of uncertainties, Warr Acres Police recruit the help of the Oklahoma State Bureau of Investigation after finding a young woman shot to death inside her home.

Police interviewed people all day Wednesday. They say most suicides are pretty evident, but that's not really the case in this unfortunate situation.

There's an ADT alarm sign out front, but that's not what tipped police off to what happened. They rushed to the scene after Kelsey Windham's husband, Christian Windham, called 911 when he got home from work and found the body of his 28-year-old wife.

Police showed up and sources close to the investigation told News 9 they found Kelsey Windham lying in bed and shot once in the chest. Sources told News 9 investigators found a note that may indicate the case is a suicide. However, as police stated just hours after the shooting they can't assume anything.

“It’s typical to investigate any kind of shooting as a homicide until it’s determined that it’s actually a suicide or elsewise,” Warr Acres Police Department Lt. Berger said.

Police questioned Christian Windham and neighbors saw him leave with officers, which is nothing out of the ordinary in a scenario like this.

“I never saw them put him in cuffs, but I did hear one of the officers tell her family that he was being detained,” a neighbor said.

Windham was released Tuesday night as the investigation continued and included forensics and in-depth aspects of the case which led police to request help from the OSBI.

Police say by Thursday they should have enough evidence to determine what happened in this case.
