Man Arrested in McKinney Murder
McKinney police say Eric Merz was found unresponsive after he shot and killed his wife Wednesday. Merz was arrested and charged with murder, his bond is set at $150,000.
Allen police have identified the victim of an apparent suicide as 42-year-old murder suspect Eric Merz.
Merz was out on bond, after being charged in March with the murder of his wife, Mary "Beth" Merz in their McKinney home.
On Sunday afternoon, Allen police responded to an emergency call, reporting a man had jumped from the Highway 121 overpass down to the main lanes of U.S. 75 – reportedly an 80 foot drop.
Police found an unattended vehicle in the same area which was determined to be a rental car.
The identity of the jumper was eventually traced back to that of Merz.
Police say the preliminary investigation indicates his death was a suicide. Plice do not believe he was pushed, however, confirmation from the Collin County Medical Examiner's Office is still pending.
According to McKinney Police, on March 6, one of the two Merz children came home from school to find the family home locked.
When the child looked through a window, they saw their mother's body lying on the ground.
The child ran to a neighbor, who called 911.
Eric Merz was also discovered injured in the home, but was later charged with his wife's murder.
The couple's two children are now living with relatives.
