DAVENPORT, Iowa (AP) – A Davenport man has been charged with murder months after the death of his wife. Court records say Casey Klemme is charged with second-degree murder and domestic abuse assault. The records don’t list an attorney for him. Officers sent to the home July 26 found Tiffany Klemme lying on a floor. Police say she had bruising on her left eye, a bloody nose and other injuries. Her husband acknowledged only grabbing and pushing her. She was found dead in the home the next day. Authorities say the wait for autopsy and toxicology results delayed the filing of the murder charge.
