"On Saturday, October 13th, 2018, just after 9p.m., Corozal police visited six miles Consejo Road, the residence of Mr. Robley Rigdon and upon arrival inside of the residence, they observed the naked body of a female who was identified as Claire Elizabeth Rigdon. Initial information that the police received is that earlier in the day both of them were socializing and Mr. Rigdon went to sleep and upon waking up he went looking for his wife and could not find her. He made checks outside of the yard and inside of the house; thereafter he went to the pool where he found her floating. She was pulled out of the pool where he performed CPR; however, she had already died."
