A multi-state search continues forDawn Rene Wynn, the 49-year-old woman who allegedly went on the run last week while awaiting trial for her husband’s 2021 murder.
Wynn had been charged with the Nov. 16, 2021, murder of her 51-year-old husband, Harold Lee Wynn. Investigators confirm Harold was shot in the back of the head as he slept in the couple’s camper in Anderson, Missouri.
As part of her bond conditions, Wynn had been staying with her mother in Pea Ridge, Arkansas. Police have been alerted to be on the lookout in several states, including Florida, Tennessee and South Carolina.
“My dad was a very outgoing man who loved people,” says Savannah Wynn, adding that her dad owned a successful plumbing business. “He pretty much didn’t know a stranger. He loved to make anybody’s day, to make them smile — make them happy and brighten their day.”
“He loved his kids and he did everything he could for us,” Savannah says.
“My mom, she is very manipulative,” Savannah confides. “She was very abusive, as far as verbally, psychologically and mentally to us kids and my dad. We grew up dealing with that. She always had to be in control.”

Savannah tells PEOPLE that when she learned that her mother — whom she further described as “greedy and selfish” — might be released from jail on bail, she contacted local prosecutors and the Victim Advocates office for help.
“I begged them not to grant bond,” Savannah recalls. “I told them, ‘She will run. I don’t want her out.’ I’m pretty upset about it all.”
Savannah says police have hinted that they suspect money was the prime motive behind her dad’s killing.
