A New Mexico woman who reported that her husband stabbed himself has now been charged — with allegedly stabbing her husband.

On April 1, the Farmington Police Department revealed on Facebook that after an extensive investigation into the death of 49-year-old Robert Hoefer, his wife, Heather Fernandez-Hoefer, 51, faces murder charges.

According to police, officers went to the Hoefer home on November 29, 2020, following a 911 call from Fernandez-Hoefer, who claimed to have found her husband unresponsive. Initially, during police questioning, she allegedly stated he had stabbed himself. She reportedly repeated this claim numerous times, as detailed in an affidavit obtained by KRQE, a CBS affiliate in the area.

Her story, according to police, eventually fell apart due to her own conflicting statements.
