Police Arrest Physician For Wife's Murder

Reporting
J.D. Miles
FARMERS BRANCH (CBS 11 / TXA 21) ― Thursday morning Timothy Werner went to work seeing patients at a northeast Dallas clinic like he usually does. By Thursday evening, he was in the Dallas County jail charged with murder and without bond.

Werner was still in his scrubs when Farmers Branch police escorted him to his cell. Sources say he wouldn't answer police questions after his arrest.

The Farmers Branch police and Dallas County prosecutors have been researching his wife's suicide since 2004. It happened in the house they once owned on Glenside Drive.

Sara Werner, 47, was shot in the chest with a 357 magnum and died from an apparent self-inflicted wound. But further investigating led to Thursday's arrest four years later.

Sources say Werner moved often and he was not easy to find.

At his clinic where police tracked him down, the staff said they were in shock.

Authorities are not commenting on a motive or what new evidence led to the break in the case. Authorities expect to release more information in the coming days, but tell us they have a solid case.
