AMANDA PERRAULT (911 call): It's my husband, and he's putting his hands on me. AMANDA PERRAULT (911 call): He locked me out of the house and I'm just trying to get my things out of the house, please. SECOND 911 DISPATCHER: And she said her husband is … an officer with the Eatonton Police Department. SECOND 911 DISPATCHER: I ain't supposed to know this … but he's been out of work with his back and apparently, he's over their whoopin' up on her ass. "I Amanda Perrault would like to retract my statement … My husband never put his hands on me ever. I feel horrible for the humiliation I have put my husband and my family through. I am willing to take any punishment I may deserve for what I have done."
Just an hour-and-a-half after Seth Perrault said his 44-year-old wife, Amanda, shot herself right in front of him, he was struggling to tell his story. AMANDA PERRAULT: Yes, thank you. 911 DISPATCHER: She's at the neighbor's house right now.
SETH PERRAULT (to Sheriff Howard Sills): I'm in shock. My wife of eight years, that I love more than anything in this world…
