Omaha police arrested a man Sunday after finding his wife dead inside their home near 30th and State Streets.
Police found the body of Evelyn Cain, 57, inside the house at 3118 State St. at 9 a.m. Sunday, said Officer Jacob Bettin, a police spokesman.
Fire and rescue personnel had responded to a call about a possible death at the house. Homicide investigators determined that the death was suspicious.
The victim's husband, Patrick K. Cain, also 57, was arrested Sunday afternoon on suspicion of criminal homicide, Bettin said.
He declined to say how Evelyn Cain died or to release other details about her death.
Ellen Minturn lives near the house and said she knew the couple simply as “Pat and Evie.”
“I didn't know a whole lot about them,” Minturn said. “They've lived here for a long time.”
Minturn occasionally heard what sounded like arguing from the house but said it never sounded very serious.
Minturn said she last spoke with Evelyn Cain shortly after the most recent big snowstorm.
“She just talked about how fun it was to shovel herself out,” Minturn said.
