SAN BERNARDINO (CBS) — Police have arrested a 47-year-old woman accused of murdering her husband for financial gain.
Laurie Jean Cone is in police custody for the murder of John Cone.
San Bernardino police responded to a 911 call of suspicious activity early Monday morning at a TV and radio repair business in the 2100 block of N. Sierra Way, officials said.
