Film director Alfred Hitchcock or author Stephen King could have used this as a plot for one of their shuddering, scary creations. Unfortunately, though, it is allegedly a real-life horror tale. A man named Tyronne Brazille was arrested for allegedly driving with his deceased wife in the car. Per WREG, "Thursday night, Memphis officers arrested 50-year-old Tyronne Brazille after discovering the body of 50-year-old Lanessa Bradford in his passenger seat. Police said she had been shot to death."

A friend of the couple, Shelicka Decker, reportedly claimed that the two had a longtime, volatile marriage. She claimed that Brazille had "mental issues" in the words of the outlet. Decker also mentioned that Bradford allegedly told him she was leaving him permanently recently.
A Friend Has Many Urgent Questions
Shelicka Decker's anguish is apparent in what she said about the grisly situation. It allegedly turned violent. "I have so many questions, like, what were you doing in the car with her that amount of time while she was deceased. Where was his mind at during that ride? Like, it's so crazy. It's so crazy and heartbreaking."
She added chillingly about Tyronne Brazille, "He never put his hands on her up until recently, like maybe like two or three months ago. It wouldn't have surprised me if someone had called and said that he killed himself because he always says this. It surprised me that he killed her."
"She Was Going to Just Vanish"
Decker observed to the outlet, "She had the money saved up. She had come up with a plan, and she was going to just vanish. That was the only way she would be able to get away from him. She was going to leave her car, she was going to leave all the things behind, and she had been in touch with her family that was out of town, and that's how she was going to make this move to get away."
What Police Believe Happened Between the Couple
According to the outlet, authorities in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, believe that the two were in that city's Independence Community Park. They supposedly had a spat and he allegedly shot Bradford. Then he reportedly departed Baton Rouge "and drove through several states before he was stopped in Memphis."
Per WREG, Tyronne Brazille was expected to be extradited to Louisiana. He will reportedly face a charge of murder in connection with his wife's death.
