Husband Fatally Stabs Wife At Marietta Apartment: Police

MARIETTA, GA — A 42-year-old Marietta woman was stabbed to death Sunday in her Williams Drive apartment, and her husband is now facing charges in connection with her death, Marietta Police said Monday.

Samantha Woolery was attacked in her apartment overnight by someone familiar to her, police said. The stabbing was an isolated incident, and the suspect fled the scene shortly after the stabbing, police said.

Woolery's coworkers found her dead after driving to her home to check on her after she did not arrive for work, police said. Woolery had visible cuts and was unresponsive, police said. The coworkers immediately left the apartment and called 911, police said.

"We can confirm the woman did not survive the attack and was deceased when her coworkers arrived to check on her," police said in a news release.

Woolery's husband, 49-year-old Mickey Anthony Woolery, was identified as the suspect, police said. He fled Georgia and returned to his primary home in Carmel, Indiana, after the stabbing, police said.

Detectives partnered on the case with the Carmel (Indiana) Police Department and arranged to take Mickey Woolery into custody, police said. During a search, police said he ran before eventually being arrested.

"We appreciate the professional way their agency coordinated efforts and swiftly captured this dangerous fugitive. Our investigative team will work now to coordinate Mickey’s extradition to Georgia," police said in the release.

Mickey Woolery is being charged on suspicion of felony murder, aggravated assault, aggravated battery, malice murder and possession of a weapon during the commission of a crime, police said.
