Elizabeth Fox-Doerr, 50, is alleged to have shot dead her firefighter husband Robert Doer on the driveway of their home following a shift in 2019
An Indiana widow faces a murder charge after allegedly killing her firefighter husband in their driveway three years ago.
Elizabeth Fox-Doerr, 50, allegedly executed husband Robert Doerr after he came home from a 12-hour shift in February 2019.
She was only charged with perjury this week but faces charges of murder.
She has been in jail since last month after she was initially charged with perjury for lying about deleting cellphone records involving her ‘lover.’
The lover, who was an alleged accomplice in the killing, was 41-year-old Larry Ali Richmond Sr, from Evansville. He has been in jail on weapons charges since 2019.

Richmond had been in a relationship with Fox-Doerr when Robert, who was a firefighter for nearly 30 years in Evansville, was murdered.
‘This senseless selfish act will forever leave a void of Robby’s family, his friends and his co-workers,’ Evansville Police Chief Billy Bolin said at a press conference on Thursday. ‘Today is the first step in seeing some type of justice for Robbie.’
Evansville Fire Department Chief Mike Larson said the charges meant the community was finally able to have ‘some closure’ over Doerr’s loss.

‘The citizens of Evansville lost a firefighter who always went above and beyond the call of duty to save lives and property.
‘Even more importantly, he was a son, a brother, a father and grandfather,’ Larson explained at a press conference.
‘We are relieved that the long wait is over and the individuals involved in this murder are being brought to justice for not only Robby’s murder but the pain they have caused his family, his friends and our department,’ chief Larson continued.
The sudden movement in the case and Fox-Doerr’s arrest came after Richmond is said to have confessed to a fellow inmate who is also serving time.
Richmond confessed to the murder while in jail adding that he had been in a relationship with Elizabeth Fox-Doerr.
Fox-Doerr is also alleged to have called Richmond to speak with him on the phone for around five minutes prior to the murder taking place.
There was no record of such a call being placed on her cellphone after she deleted the call record from her phone not wanting investigators to think she was having an affair.
Fox-Doerr is being held on a $50,000 bond for the perjury charge.
