Man Jumps Off The Bridge After Killing His Wife

An executive of a failed subprime mortgage company jumped off a bridge after he killed his wife in their home on Friday because of some personal issues, according to police.

Walter Buczynski, 59, left a note in his car saying that he killed his wife at their home and that he jumped of the Delaware Memorial Bridge. According to prosecutor Robert Bernardi, their two sons, of 8 and 15 years old, were safe.

Bernardi said that the note was also indicating the motive for the crime. It said that “personal relationship of the couple” was to blame and not the economic situation the family was facing, the Associated Press reports.

Marci Buczynski, 37, was found by police in the couple’s bedroom after they’ve received a call from a male to check on her state. Bernardi said that the caller was Walter who phoned shortly before jumping off the bridge on Friday afternoon.

The autopsy made on his wife said that she died from blunt force trauma to the head, having her neck fractured.

After 20 minutes from the call they’ve received from the man, another one was made to 911 saying that a man was seen with his car, a blue Acura SUV, stopping on the bridge and jumping from it in the Delaware River. According to police, that man was Walter.

On Saturday searchers were still looking for Buczynski's body.

The couple’s children were in the custody of family members.

Residents along Atlanta Drive, where is the couple’s home, declared that they were shocked. They knew the two as friendly people and Walter as a sweet man.

Walter Buczynski was the executive vice president of Fieldstone Mortgage Co., who had over 1,000 employees in 2006. It made $5.5 billion in mortgage loans but failed for bankruptcy last year and now had less than 20 employees.

The company filled court papers on Tuesday to pay to Buczynski, two other senior officers, and Fieldstone's remaining workers $1.1 million in bonuses so that the company could close the business.
