Jessica Winkler called 911 and told the operator she shot her wife, a sheriff's report says.

ENGLEWOOD — A 48-year-old Englewood woman shot her wife and then planned to bury her to cover-up the murder, according to sheriff's report.

But before Jessica J. Winkler disposed of the body of 51-year-old Rhiannon W. Layendecker she called 911 and told the operator that she put the victim's dead body in the back of a truck on the property at 1429 Overbrook Road in Englewood.

Based on the recorded 911 call, Winkler's statements to Sarasota County detectives, and evidence found in Englewood and Charlotte County, Winkler was charged with second-degree murder and tampering with evidence, the Sarasota County Sheriff's Office said.

According to the sheriff's report:

Winkler called 911 at about 4 p.m. Saturday — 15 hours after she allegedly shot Layendecker inside the couple's home in Englewood. She told the operator deputies could find the 51-year-old woman's body in the bed of her maroon 2003 Dodge with Florida tags.

Deputies took Winkler to the Sheriff's Office headquarters to be questioned.

The couple had an argument, according to the sheriff's report, and Winkler got a gun and shot Layendecker, who the medical examiner stated was killed by a single gunshot wound.

After the shooting sometime Friday night, Winkler moved the body using a chair with wheels and tossed the firearm into a body of water nearby. It was later recovered by the Sheriff's Office dive team.

Winkler planned to bury Layendecker in a hole she had dug at her family's home in Charlotte County. Neighbors reported seeing Winkler, who is a landscaper, digging the hole.

While a Sarasota County judge set a bond of $1,500 for tampering with evidence, Winkler did not receive a bond for the second-degree murder charge. She remains in custody at the Sarasota County Jail.
