[Warning: Potentially Triggering Content] Police finally caught up with Trent Paschal, who allegedly killed his 30-year-old wife, Savannah Paschal, on October 21, 2020.

The seemingly self-confessed murderer met his end on New Year’s Eve after disappearing on bond last year. As Perezcious readers may recall, Trent was arrested for the murder of his wife; he allegedly shot and killed her in the bathroom of their master bedroom after she announced she didn’t want to live with him anymore, according to a probable cause affidavit obtained by People.

Trent was arrested and released on a $550,000 bond last year. He was ordered to wear an ankle monitor, but on April 13, authorities believe he removed it, allowing him to escape for months.

He allegedly stole a Chevy Tahoe from a dealership, holding the salesman at knifepoint during a test drive. According to KTKR, the monitor did not send a signal that it had been removed either, which made it difficult for police to track him down… until they received a tip on NYE.
