Professional poker player Marcus Bebb-Jones got away with murder for 16 years – and then his luck ran out.
Back in 1997, he claimed his 31-year-old wife Sabrina walked out on him after they argued during a trip into the wilderness.
Cops didn’t buy his story. But they had no idea where Sabrina’s body was located and couldn’t charge Bebb-Jones with murder. Then someone stumbled across his wife’s skull, and the card-playing killer was eventually forced to show his hand.
“Right from day one, we figured he’d killed Sabrina, but without a body, we could never prove it,” Bill Middleton, a commander with the Garfield County Sheriff ’s Department in Colorado, told The ENQUIRER.
“I’m sure he thought he’d gotten away with murder.”
