Dead Couple Was Having Marital Problems


"NEW BRAUNFELS, TX — The Comal County Sheriff's Department has confirmed that a couple found dead Sunday in a field north of New Braunfels had been having marital problems and was in the process of getting a divorce.

"Lt. Mark Reynolds, spokesman for the department, said Arden Specia-Spencer, 57, and Mark Spencer, 58, had both been shot to death.

"Reynolds said he would not speculate as to how they were killed, saying instead that he would wait for the results of an autopsy. However, he said investigators are fairly certain that no one other than the couple was involved in the incident.

"Deputies responded to a call about a suicide from a home in the 2900 block of Purgatory Road just after 5 p.m. Sunday, Reynolds said.

"`When deputies and EMS personnel got there, they discovered two bodies, one female and one male,` Reynolds said.

"Reynolds said it was Arden Specia-Spencer who was visiting her mother at the time when she was killed.

"Her mother is the one who placed the 911 call, Reynolds said.

"The couple, according to Reynolds, lived in San Antonio and had two young children. He would not confirm whether the children were present at the time of the shootings.

"Neighbors said Arden Specia-Spencer was a local attorney, although they did not know much else about the couple."
