SAVANNAH, Ga. — Investigators along Georgia’s coast are weighing whether to file charges against a wife they say shot and killed her husband, a soldier recently returned from Iraq.
Savannah-Chatham police spokesman Julian Miller said Sunday that investigators have questioned Melaya Sams after the death Saturday of her husband, Staff Sgt. Michael Sams, 36.
