Before the discovery of Kolev's body, officers responded to the home for a "citizens’ assist call where the reporting party requested a walk through of the residence."

Officers say he had been shot multiple times and stabbed and that Koleva purchased a gun just days before that matched the murder weapon.

Investigators are recommending second-degree murder charges against Koleva "in connection to her alleged involvement in her husband Stefan Kolev’s death."

She's being held on a million-dollar bond.

No more information is available.
