Kholt, Is the following CEO one of the capitalist fundamentalists' imaginary heroic "creators of wealth" responsible for progress of human race? The size of his ego does match that of the majority of American CEO's--he probably truly believed a woman 20yrs his junior was in love with his charm rather than his bank account. CEO Charged With Killing Wife in N.J. Wednesday, 21-Jan-2004 11:20AM Story from AP / TOM BELL, Associated Press Writer -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- HOPEWELL TOWNSHIP, N.J. (AP) -- A jealous husband killed his wife by smashing her head on the garage floor of their mansion, then staged a car wreck to try to make her death look like an accident, authorities say. Jonathan Nyce, 54, a former pharmaceutical researcher, remained jailed Wednesday on $1 million bond. He has pleaded innocent to first-degree murder. Speaking in court against the advice of his attorney and the judge, Nyce insisted his wife's death was "a pure accident." "I have no history of physical violence ever against any person," he said. "I never, ever had ill will toward my wife." The body of 34-year-old Michelle Nyce was found in her Toyota Land Cruiser after the sport utility vehicle went over a snowy embankment and into a creek. Prosecutors said Nyce confronted his wife in their garage after she returned from meeting her lover at a hotel. Nyce told police his wife approached him with a knife, but officers said they never found a weapon. They did find bloody towels and blood spatter in the couple's garage and a trail of blood leading to a second-floor bedroom, said Tom Meidt, assistant Mercer County prosecutor. Meidt said detectives also found footprints at scene of the crash that matched chopped-up shoe soles found at the house, where the couple lived with their three children. The children are now staying with relatives. Michelle Nyce was last seen in public Thursday after leaving her job as a beauty consultant at a Macy's department store. Police found her body Saturday after a motorist reported seeing her SUV in a creek near the couple's $1.6 million home 10 miles northwest of Trenton. Authorities initially believed the car had veered off the road, but officers soon suspected foul play because her injuries were not consistent with a crash. An autopsy indicated the cause of death was blunt-force trauma to the head, authorities said. Investigators were also suspicious because Nyce had not reported his wife of 13 years missing. He was arrested Sunday during questioning by police. Describing the attack to officers, Nyce said his wife's head hit the ground so hard it made "a thud that made me sick," authorities said. After staging the crash, Nyce returned home and went to sleep, police said. Nyce was an asthma researcher at East Carolina University in Greenville, N.C., when he founded a pharmaceutical company, EpiGenesis Pharmaceuticals Inc., that later moved to New Jersey. The company was restructured last spring, and Nyce was replaced as its chairman and chief executive. He has been out of work since then.
