Anderson woman, accused of murdering sleeping husband, captured by Indiana authorities

An Anderson woman, who was awarded bail by a McDonald County judge despite being accused of killing her sleeping husband by shooting him in the head and then skipped town, was captured by Indiana authorities today.

Dawn Renee Wynn, 49, was recognized from television coverage and an alert citizen notified local authorities, according to a McDonald County Sheriff's Office news release.

Wynn will be returned to Missouri to face second degree murder and armed criminal action charges stemming from the November 16, 2021 murder of her husband, Harold Wynn.

When she returns, she won't be leaving jail any time soon since Judge Kevin Selby revoked her bond.

McDonald County Circuit Court Judge John LePage set a $100,000 surety bond for Wynn during an April 22 hearing over the objections of the prosecuting attorney.

One of the conditions of her bond was that she remain under house arrest at her parents' home in Benton County, Arkansas.

The allegations against Wynn were detailed in a November 19, 2021, McDonald County Sheriff's Office news release:

11-16-2021, Deputies responded to an address on Pleasant Grove Road, west of Anderson after a shooting was reported to the 911 Center.

Deputies arrived at the address to find Harold Lee Wynn dead from an apparent gunshot wound to the head. First arriving deputies secured the scene and called for additional help from supervisors and detectives.

The scene was processed and after the preliminary investigation, Wynn’s wife, Dawn Renee Wynn, was taken into custody and transported to the McDonald County Jail.
