Police Seek Husband of Slain Former Maine Resident

TURNER, Maine - Investigators say they are looking for the husband of a former Maine resident whose recent death has been ruled a homicide.

The Sun Journalreports former Turner, Maine, resident Sara Lee Porter-Knight's body was found at her home in Fennville, Michigan, after her husband called police on Jan. 13 and then fled the area. A warrant was issued for the arrest of the husband, 66-year-old Harold "Butch'' Knight. Police say Porter-Knight's body showed signs of strangulation.

Porter-Knight moved back to Michigan in May while her husband remained in Turner. One of Porter-Knight's children says the couple had been married for about 13 years and there were indications that their marriage had become strained.
