Man accused in 'mercy killing' his wife cuts off his ankle bracelet, skips hearing, and shoots himself dead

A Sun City man accused in the shooting death of his 73-year-old wife - in what is being called a mercy killing - has been found dead in his car. Howard Allen Rudolph, 79, went missing after cutting off his electronic monitoring ankle-bracelet Sunday and didn't appear for a court hearing Monday, according to the Maricopa County Sheriff's Office. It has now been confirmed that Rudolph's body was found in his parked car in the northwest Valley on Tuesday, near 99th Ave and Beardsley. The cause of death reportedly appeared to be a self-inflicted gunshot wound.
