New Details Emerge In Nationwide Search For Dangerous Suspected New Jersey Wife-Killer

New details emerged in the nationwide search for a suspected wife-killer who is accused of murdering a New Jersey mother in front of her kids.

The national search resumed Wednesday for Jeremiah Monell, 32, of New Jersey, who is wanted for the murder of his wife, Tara O'Shea-Watson, 35, also of New Jersey, according to the State Police.

Police concentrated their efforts in an area of New Jersey where Monell is a resident:

A truck matching the suspect's vehicle description was found in the Cumberland County woods late Tuesday:

O'Shea-Watson was a resident of Commercial Township and Monell is a resident of Cedarville. O'Shea apparently tried to get away from Monell and pleaded for help from the courts, friends say:

The manhunt began on Monday at 8:05 a.m. after troopers responded to a private residence on Raymond Drive in Commercial Township on a report of a woman who was dead, police said.

Upon arrival, troopers discovered the woman, O'Shea-Watson, unconscious and unresponsive. A preliminary investigation has determined that Monell murdered his estranged wife and is now on the run, police said.

He is a white male, 5 feet, 9 inches tall, approximately 140 pounds and was last seen driving a 1994 blue Chevrolet S10 pickup with New Jersey license plate X91GJV, police said.

Monell has been charged with murder and related weapons possession, with bail set at $1 million.

A friend, Jen L. Messeck, told nj.com that O'Shea was attempting to leave New Jersey to get away from her estranged husband and take her kids with her, and there was a history of abuse and domestic violence.

Messeck set up a GoFundMe.com page to raise money to bring O'Shea's family from Tennessee to New Jersey for the funeral. More than $4,000 of the $10,000 goal had been raised as of midday Wednesday.

"Tara was [taken] from her children, family and friends way too soon," according to the page. "It is believed her husband murdered her in the middle of the night. Tara's family mostly resides in Tennessee. Please help raise money to bring her family back to New Jersey and help provide Tara with a beautiful funeral."
