Alabama LE says they were staying at an area motel.
Everything I saw said "condo" on the beach, but they never stayed there.
Here's finally a person to attribute the confession statement to, besides the spokesperson Johnson.

Update 32: Minister's Wife Confesses to Killing Him
By WOODY BAIRD , 03.24.2006, 01:03 PM
The wife [of] a minister found shot to death in their church parsonage confessed to investigators and agreed to return to Tennessee to face first-degree murder charges, authorities said Friday.
Selmer Police Sgt. Roger Rickman said Mary Winkler confessed to the shooting, which he said happened on Wednesday. She then took the couple's three daughters to Alabama, where she and the children were found late Thursday.
"To my knowledge, the children saw nothing," Rickman said when asked if they witnessed their father's death. ..."
1) Condo rented for the family, someone in the family knew something bad would happen while there;
2) Condo rented by wife because she planned to be out and away from him for a while or permanently for whatever reason and that turned sour; or
3) The renting of the condo had nothing at all to do with anything.
Curious bit, though, to wonder about.
