I just checked for any news & nothing since March, 2019. Ho-hum. Is LE busy with other things? No more leads on this case? Dunno.
Thanks for the bump!

I thought this was a pretty big case for their area. Then the man was found running on a cross country trip not far from the Mexican border. I sure hope he is still behind bars. Who would know? Tsk, where is the news these days??

I asked (on fb). They replied, but nothing set.

Hmm. It has been six months since she died.

I guess I will add and a whole lot of years since the first wife died to go with my above post...

Another 11 days gone by.

Where are our tabloids?

This could be up there with Drew Peterson. Two wives, both crazy stories, one with a turkey and a man running for probably the Mexican border when he was arrested thank goodness.

Encouraging to hear this. I do wonder if they are making any progress at looking back at the first wife's death still though.

Regardless, he is finally charged with murder and that is good news.

Nash woman whose husband is charged with her murder was beaten to death, autopsy finds :: WRAL.com

Reading between the lines, it looks like he beat her with an axe.

She had suffered a number of blows to her head by both a blunt-force object and a sharp object, leaving her with "extensive skull fractures" and brain injuries, as well as cuts to her face, neck and scalp, according to the autopsy report.

"The characteristics of the sharp force injuries were consistent with 'chop-type' wounds. Therefore, it is possible that both the sharp and blunt force injuries could have been the result of a single instrument," the report states.

You are right ABSOLUTELY HORRIFYING.
I hope his ego is so big he opts for trial myself.

I hope so too and I'm glad to hear that NC doesn't play around. I hope the death penalty is on the table, because if anybody deserves it, he does. Evil, evil being.
Rest in peace, lovely Diana.

Horrific describes it. He even took out her left eye. I imagine she suffered many times living with a man so full of rage.

State won't seek death penalty in nurse's killing

The murder trial of a Nash County man accused of killing his wife, a Wilson Medical Center nurse, most likely won’t begin until next year.

Lynn Rex Keel, 57, faces life in prison in the brutal March 2019 stabbing death of his 38-year-old wife, Diana Alejandra Keel.

Prosecutors announced during a recent hearing that the state won’t seek the death penalty. In North Carolina, the only two allowable punishments for first-degree murder are death or life in prison without the possibility of parole.
