DUNNELLON, Fla. (AP) — A Florida man is charged with murder after telling authorities he meant to text his wife about the death of his live-in girlfriend, but nervously messaged a detective instead.
quote:
Investigators said he staged the crime scene to make it look like an intruder entered the Dunnellon home on Jan. 30 and killed 64-year-old Sally Kaufmann-Ruff.
The Ocala Star-Banner reports detectives found evidence that didn’t match Romig’s story about the home invasion. Then, he sent two text messages saying he thought he was going to be arrested. Romig is being held without bond. An attorney isn’t listed on court records.

California and Texas are both larger than Florida, but somehow Florida consistently cranks out more bizarre stories than those other two states combined...

I don’t have any detectives saved in my phone. Takes some serious stupidity to accidentally text one.

He probably had been in contact with the detective during their investigation and that's why the detective was in his phone.

I guess I should read the story via the link, but those two text-messages don't sound all that incriminating. Not exactly a Perry Mason moment.

After his arrest, Romig told detectives he had been suffering from blackouts and that he was “hearing voices.” He added that he had “an out-of-body experience” and “felt like he was wrestling with himself and the gun went off, shooting Sally.”
Romig told detectives he “staged the scene due to having blacked out during the shooting, setting the scene as a home invasion,” the arrest report said, adding that he admitted there was no intruder.
Romig told investigators he is the sole beneficiary listed in Kaufmann-Ruff’s will, the report said. The pair had lived together for two and a half years.
