Steven Douglas Wolfgang told EMTs and state police troopers that he killed his wife Friday night during an argument, stuffed her body in a metal box and dumped the box in a waterway near Helfenstein in Schuylkill County, according to court documents filed by police to obtain a warrant to search the Wolfgangs Mount Carmel residence.
In the affidavit filed Monday by Trooper Bernard Spece Jr., police allege that in an interview Mr. Wolfgang told troopers that around 11 Friday night, he attacked his wife, Sherry, during an argument.
During the attack, Mr. Wolfgang knocked his wife to the floor and then began choking her, police allege in the court documents.
Steven attempted to strangle his wife and at one point shoved towels into her mouth in an attempt to choke her. When that failed,
Steven then knelt on his wifes chest and began to strike her chest with his knees. Steven informed the troopers that when he struck his wifes chest with his knees that she died immediately, Trooper Spece wrote in the affidavit.
