According to the warrant, another person who was in the home at the time told investigators that Sharad Amtey was heard saying, “Dottie, Dottie. I can’t breathe.”
Dottie Amtey told detectives she was an avid runner and that her husband had numerous health problems.
“These statements by Dottie during her interview …provided insight into Dottie’s ability to be able to strangle Sharad as she described with Sharad unable to defend himself,” the warrant states.
