Just a week before, Elizabeth had finished her final round of chemo, which her husband celebrated on Facebook.
Alongside a happy picture of her, he wrote: “This lady just finished her last round of chemo today … very proud of you.”
Longtime friend Mary Smith told reporters that Elizabeth had just finished up with her “fight to stay alive.”
“To have it end like this, it’s just a tragedy that no one should have to go through. It just shouldn’t be that way,” she told WRTV. “Why? What happened to just make [Andrew] lose control?”

Andrew admitted his affair to Indiana Police and claimed Elizabeth “had taken the news hard.” Still, he thought they could work things out until Elizabeth handed him a “legal notification of separation.”
The same day Andrew posted the celebration on Facebook (March 18), his wife was submitting her petition for legal separation.
“Andrew stated that he refused to sign the documents without his own attorney reviewing it,” the affidavit said.

Andrew told law enforcement that during a heated argument over the separation, Elizabeth began “physically striking” him.
“He picked up a cement, gallon-sized flower pot that had dirt in it and struck Elizabeth in the face”, the affidavit detailed.
Andrew is now being held at the Boone County Jail where he faces a preliminary charge of first-degree murder.
