| A Jackson County man accused of murdering and burying his wife in a shallow grave, allegedly wrote a letter to his brother
detailing how he killed her.
Linda Culp, a long-time employee of St. Joseph's Hospital in Parkersburg, was president and chief executive officer of
Marymount Medical Center in London, Kentucky. She had returned to the couple's Jackson County farm for the
weekend.
Police continue to search today for 56-year-old Gary Culp, who is charged with first-degree murder, and they have
expanded their search to Utah and Arizona.
Police started searching the property Monday evening after being contacted by Gary Culp's brother in Baltimore,
Maryland.
They found what appeared to be bloodstains in a garage and on a riding lawn-mower.
Sources were reporting Thursday that Culp had Huntington's chorea disease.
The hereditary condition has no known effective treatment,and most victims die within 15 years. The disease causes "mental deterioration that terminates in dementia."
