Well, ya see, there’s this fella named Howard Ashleman, and he’s been in the news quite a bit. Now, you might be wonderin’ who his wife is, so let me tell ya a little story ’bout that. Howard, he’s from around here, and back in the day, he moved off to Florida, all the way down to Hobe Sound Bible College. That’s where he met his wife, Hannah Jones. Ain’t that somethin’? They hit it off, and not long after that, they were married. But, I reckon their story ain’t the kind of fairytale ya might expect.
So, Howard and Hannah, they seemed to be doin’ alright for themselves, settlin’ down and all. But, things got real messy when Howard got caught up in the murder of a man named James Chambers. It was in August of 2014, ya see, when James disappeared. Folks started wonderin’ what happened to him, and, well, the truth came out in a way nobody could’ve imagined.

Now, Howard, he got himself arrested for James’ murder, but what really got folks talkin’ was the way things came to light. Turns out, his own wife, Hannah, was the one who helped uncover the whole mess. She secretly recorded Howard confessin’ to the crime. Can you believe that? Her own husband, confessin’ to somethin’ so terrible. It’s like somethin’ out of a movie, but real life ain’t never as simple as a movie script, is it?
In February 2018, Howard had his first court hearing, and that’s when everything really started to unravel. They charged him with murder, and he stood there in court, not sayin’ much. But Hannah, she had all the proof she needed. The tape she recorded was crucial in the whole case. Howard didn’t know she was recordin’ him, but she got it all. It was the kind of thing that shook up the whole community, I tell ya.
Now, a lotta folks been askin’, is Howard still married to Hannah? Well, that’s a good question. Seems like, after all that went down, things must’ve changed between them. Can you imagine stickin’ with someone after somethin’ like that? But, to be honest, I don’t rightly know if they’re still together or not. Sometimes, things like this just tear people apart. But there’s a chance that they might still be tryin’ to work things out. Hard to say.
But, what I do know is that Howard Ashleman and his wife, Hannah Jones, will always be remembered for this, no matter what happens. It’s a wild story, and it ain’t one you hear every day. I reckon it’ll stay in the news for a long time, especially with that secret tape of Howard confessin’ to the murder. That’s somethin’ folks won’t soon forget.
Now, it ain’t no easy thing talkin’ about folks like Howard and Hannah, but the truth is the truth. Ain’t no way to sugarcoat it. Sometimes, life takes people down paths they ain’t expectin’, and things get messy. But, ya gotta remember, there’s always more to the story than what meets the eye.
