Texsox Posted May 3, 2004 Share Posted May 3, 2004 HENDERSON, Texas (AP) -- A man set up a bubble bath for his wife, complete with candles and music, then tried to electrocute her by pushing a radio into the tub, authorities said Monday. William Joseph Wolfe, a 34-year-old emergency room nurse, was arrested Thursday on charges of attempted murder and freed on $40,000 bail. "It's the kind of case you would expect to see on a 'Columbo' episode," said Police Chief Randy Freeman. Teresa Wolfe told police her husband had moved the radio from its usual place in the bathroom to a bench near the bathtub, with an extension cord running into another room. She said she caught the radio before it hit the water and threw it out of the way. She said she later discovered that he had visited Web sites on their home computer dealing with bathtub electrocution. According to authorities, Wolfe bought a life insurance policy on his wife five months ago. If convicted, he could get up to 20 years in prison.
