Selmer, Tenn. ? A popular and charismatic Tennessee minister was found shot to death in his parsonage, and authorities labeled his wife a suspect after she and the couple’s three young daughters were found Thursday in Alabama after a daylong search.

“We’ve known from the beginning that she was either a suspect or a victim,” said Jennifer Johnson, spokeswoman for the Tennessee Bureau of Investigations.

Church members went looking for 31-year-old Matthew Winkler when he did not show up for an evening service at the Fourth Street Church of Christ. They used a key to enter the parsonage and found him dead in a bedroom late Wednesday, Police Chief Neal Burks said.

There were no signs of forced entry at the parsonage, authorities said, but Winkler’s family was gone, along with its minivan.

The other family members were found Thursday night in southern Alabama when a police officer saw the van parked along a road.
