Nearly a year after a fatal four-wheeler accident in Millers Creek, the driver of that off-road vehicle is being sought for murder.
Marc Edwin Henry, 40, formerly of Homestead Drive, Hays has been charged in connection with a March 20, 2010 four-wheeler accident on Darnell Creek Road that claimed the life of a Hays woman, according to Trooper J.G. Crane of the N.C. Highway Patrol. Henry’s passenger, Shelia Wingler Shumate, 40, died at the scene of massive head injuries, Crane said. At about 11:30 that night, Henry lost control in a sharp curve, the four-wheeler careening down a steep embankment. The second-degree murder charge was filed because Henry was impaired at the time of this wreck and had two prior convictions for driving while impaired. Authorities believe he is in Florida, and he has been entered as wanted in the national criminal database.
