Summary

"On Sunday, January 11th, I strangled her... she's dead, and she's laying on the living room
floor...

When Allegan County police showed up to the Fennville, MI residence mentioned in the
haunting 911 call, they discovered the lifeless body of 48-year-old Sara Lee Knight in the exact
condition described by the anonymous caller. Documents, funeral instructions, photos, and
personal items of Sara's had been organized and laid out on the table for police to find. The only
thing they couldn't find was Sara's husband, Butch.

It didn't take long for police to realize the person who made the call to 911 was 66-year-old
Harold "Butch" Knight. Butch had taken Sara's vehicle and skipped town, eventually making his
way up to a tiny town in rural Maine. By the time they found Sara's abandoned vehicle, it was
too late. They'd lost his trail. Almost a decade later, police are still searching for Butch.

This is “Harold Butch Knight: Wanted for Murder” from Murder, She Told. Originally published in
