Autopsy: Pastor's Wife Had 123 Knife Wounds

The wife of an aspiring pastor in North Carolina had 123 stab wounds and cuts after what investigators say was a frenzied attack at their Raleigh home last month. 

Matthew James Phelps, husband of Lauren Hugelmaier Phelps, has been held without bail on a first-degree murder charge since the Sept. 1 killing. In a 911 call early that morning, the 29-year-old told a dispatcher he thought he had killed her in his sleep after taking more cough and cold medication than he should have. "
