FBI Agent Fatally Stabbed His Wife Then Committed Suicide: Police

CROWNSVILLE, MD — Anne Arundel County Police say an FBI agent fatally stabbed his estranged wife and then killed himself in a murder-suicide in Crownsville Wednesday. Donna Fisher, 54, of the 500 block of Arundel Boulevard in Crownsville asked someone to call 911 because her husband was threatening her life; when police arrived both had suffered fatal injuries.

The murder-suicide happened shortly after 8 a.m. and police found two victims outside the residence. Autopsies done by the chief medical examiner on Thursday ruled that Fisher was stabbed to death in a homicide, while her husband, David Raynor, stabbed and shot himself in a suicide. Anne Arundel County Fire Department personnel pronounced both victims dead at the scene.

Raynor, 52, from the 100 block of Stone Point Drive in Annapolis, was an employee with the Baltimore Field Office of the Federal Bureau of Investigation.

FBI spokesman Dave Fitz told The Baltimore Sun Raynor had been a special agent with the bureau since 1996, and he was stationed at the Baltimore field office since 2003. Details on what Raynor's duties at the bureau were not disclosed.

Authorities have not said what may have led to the fatal dispute.
