Of all the things to have in common, an elderly couple residing in Missouri have this between them: spousal homicide. Both had murdered their ex-spouses. 

Gerald and Alice Uden had been living in a remote Missouri town since the 80s, and their neighbors had only good things to say about them. 

"They're the kind of neighbors you leaned over the fence and talked about your chickens with," one of their neighbors told the media. 

But now, Gerald, 71, and Alice, 74, are both under custody and awaiting extradition to Wyoming to face first degree murder charges. 

Alice Uden has bene charged of murdering her ex husband, Ronald Holtz, in 1974. His remains had recently been found in an abandoned gold mine. They had been undergoing a divorce, but the papers had not reached Holtz in time. Alice had confessed that she had shot him in the back of the head and dumped him in an old gold mine.

Gerald Uden was also charged of murdering his ex wife Virginia and their two children Richard, 12, and Reagan, 10. Geral Uden had confessed that he used a .22 caliber rifle his wife had bought for bird hunting, to shoot his family. He said he had concealed their bodies near Pavilion, Wyoming. 

It is yet unclear how Gerald and Alice met, when they were married, or the circumstances that had led them to hide out together in rural Missouri; there had been no motives to be seen in court records, and officials have been keeping their mouths shut since the beginning of the investigation.
