This is scary, I wonder what it's like being married to someone who murdered their ex and children!

The man looks evil.

A Missouri husband and wife in their seventies are in jail and awaiting extradition on charges they each carried out murders in two different cold cases more than 30 years ago.

Alice Uden, 74, and her husband, Gerald Uden, 71, of Chadwick, Mo., are facing first degree murder charges for allegedly killing their ex-spouses and children, according to a Wyoming Division of Criminal Investigation news release. They are both in custody in Christian County Jail in Missouri awaiting extradition to Wyoming.

The Fremont County Sheriff's Office in Wyoming was investigating the disappearance of Gerald Uden's ex-wife and her children when they learned that his current wife, Alice, may have been involved in the murder of her ex-husband in a nearby Wyoming county years earlier, an arrest affidavit said.

When Alice Uden was arrested on Sept. 26, she offered up information that allowed authorities to arrest her husband the next day, a Christian County Sherrif's Department news release said.

Hi Rurallad, welcome! :) That is a scary story, no shortage of crazies in this world, is there? :rolleyes:
 

Welcome, Rurallad!! That is a strange case - it sounds like they pretty much ratted on each other, but if she confessed to someone years ago, I wonder why that was never followed up on.
Saw one of their neighbors on the news; he'd lived next to them for years, and said what nice people they were. Never know who your neighbors are, I guess!!! :eek:
 
I didn't see an intro from Rurallad, so maybe decided to just jump right in with a very interesting story for us. First of all, welcome to our group!

As for the story, murdering your spouse in one thing, murdering your kids is an altogether a different thing to me -- one where no penalty for justice is bad enough to suit me.

This evil twosome have lived free as birds, which is infuriating, but I guess catching them later is better than not catching them at all. Pretty sure they'll never know freedom again, but that's not nearly enough punishment at their age. Wonder what percentage of murderers get away with it totally? I'm thinking lots of them do.
 
An autopsy revealed his cause of death was a small caliber gunshot to the back of the head, and a .22 caliber bullet was found inside his skull. His death was ruled a homicide.

Well, thank you Sherlock!

That is creepy, what a luvverly couple, but who knows what goes on in our neighbour's heads?


There are a few intriguing cold cases here too. There have been a few 'leaked' stories that the cops knew who did it but it seems it was always someone who had since died in jail after being caught for something else. A 'cop out'? We just have to hope that they were right and someone isn't still around who really did it.
