Dotson's estranged wife, Melissa Kethley of Sulphur Springs, Texas, said she cannot believe Dotson killed Dennehy. She wouldn't elaborate or discuss their marriage.

She said that although Dotson called and told her Monday that he was talking with the FBI, he didn't tell her he had been to the hospital.

"But I've known that he's needed psychological help for a very long time,'' Kethley said, crying, during a telephone interview. "He needs help, the boy needs help. ... Maybe, if he did do this, it's a blessing in disguise, and he can get the help he needs.''
