The Gibson County Prosecutor says Jacob Wilson, 35, has been charged with murder, and charges are possible for Ashley Robling, 28. He says she was on probation at the time of her arrest.

According to the probable cause affidavit for Wilson, Bethe was found shot to death in his burning home.

Authorities say a rifle was found near him, and his truck was missing.

They say witnesses saw Wilson and Robling at the home shortly before the fire.

Late that night, authorities say there was a report of a stolen car from a Pilot Travel Center in Paducah.

They say surveillance video showed Bethe's truck pull in next to the car in question, a Hyundai Veracruz.

A man and a woman then got out of Bethe's truck and took off in the Hyundai.

Saturday morning, authorities say the stolen car was found crashed in Union County, IL. They say Robling and Wilson were found hiding in the woods.

Authorities say Wilson claims he shot Bethe because he was assaulting Robling, and took the keys to his truck out of his pocket after he killed him.

They say Robling told them Bethe was not treating her badly. She says she was outside, when Wilson came out and told her he had shot Bethe and was going to burn the house down.

Bethe's daughter, Amanda, says she is heartbroken.

She reached out to us late Saturday night to see what we knew about the fire.

"It's like a living hell right now, not knowing. It is my dad's trailer and he is "missing."

Amanda says she was notified Sunday of his death.

"My dad had a big heart and tried to save every wounded bird he found, only sometimes those wounded birds were not good people," she said.

Ted Ziliak's mom lives nearby. After learning the news, he said, "It was really surprising because we don't usually have, I would say, murder in Buckskin."

Ziliak went on to say, "A friend of mine used to live at this address. They guy who owned it moved in, and I didn't really know him too well. I really don't know what's been going on down here."
