Wife’s Body Found With Children Present | Denver News

A shocking murder unfolds in a suburban home where Patrick Barnett, 40, is charged with first-degree murder after his wife, art teacher Lindsey Barnett, 37, was found dead in the shower with a fatal neck wound — despite his 911 call claiming she killed herself. Blood trails led from the bedroom to the bathroom, but minimal blood remained in the bathroom; a small knife lay near her body. Investigators found fresh injuries on Patrick — including a cut on his thumb and defensive wounds — while he wept without tears during questioning. He claims he discovered her the next morning, but a woman claiming to be his girlfriend reported not hearing from him since the night of the incident. Now facing multiple charges including tampering with evidence, Patrick remains jailed without bond as his court date looms.
