The killing occurred a day after Thanksgiving following an argument over their divorce proceedings.<br />
On April 29, Whynn entered a guilty plea to murder and received a life sentence in prison.</p>

<div class="mobile-gallery-icon">The couple, who had been married about 15 years, shared a home along Georgia Drive and had a 14-year-old daughter, authorities said.<br />
According to the <a class="class" href="https://www.ajc.com/news/crime--law/douglasville-man-pleads-guilty-strangling-wife-death-during-divorce/oRCd59Pvht75EYhmGa8U7H/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Atlanta Journal-Constitution</a>, Whynn initially claimed that he choked his wife in self-defense after she pulled a knife on him.<br />
But he later admitted to killing her following the argument.<br />
District Attorney Ryan Leonard, who prosecuted the case, said Murdock was the bread winner of the household and Whynn was upset about having to leave their home once the divorce was finalized.<br />
&#8216;Over time, they had kind of grown apart,&#8217; Leonard told AJC.com.<br />
&#8216;Sheryl had been discussing a divorce for five or six months and he was hesitant to sign the divorce papers. He didn&#8217;t want to sign them,&#8217; he added.<br />
Leonard said Whynn &#8216;saw that his life would be drastically different&#8217; with the divorce.<br />

<div class="mobile-gallery-icon">Authorities believe the murder was premeditated because Whynn sent his daughter, now 16, to sleep over at a friend&#8217;s house before the murder, according to AJC.<br />
An autopsy revealed “extensive hemorrhaging” in victim&#8217;ss neck, more than is typically seen in strangulation cases, authorities said.</p>

Investigators also discovered what they believe were defensive wounds on Whynn’s arm.<br />
“It was a very shallow scratch on his right forearm in between what appeared to be claw marks,” Leonard said.<br />
“Our position was going to be those were defensive wounds. When he was choking her with his hands around her throat, she was clawing at his arm.”<br />
Investigators believe Whynn initially planned to remove Murdock’s body from the home and dump it elsewhere, but say he notified police when his daughter called from her friend’s house and demanded to speak with her mother.<br />
Police said Whynn moved both cars from their driveway and vacuumed around his wife&#8217;s body.<br />

At the end of the couple’s street, detectives found torn up divorce papers inside a trash can with the suspect&#8217;s fingerprints on them.<br />
He pled guilty to felony murder Monday morning, just before his trial was set to begin.<br />
Leonard said: &#8216;Hopefully his daughter and the rest of her family can achieve some closure from this plea and continue to heal from their loss.&#8217;</div>
