New Charges Filed Against Jesse Crow - Central Coast News KION/KCBA

SALINAS, Calif- New charges against Jesse Crow claim that he used a gun in the murder of his wife, Ryann Bunnell Crow.

"We can not imagine why they chose to wait like this to this late date and file that amendment complaint without notice," said defense attorney Tom Worthington. Prosecutors said they are making changes to the charges against Crow adding seven more charges, surprising the defense, "We were prepared to proceed, we could not proceed in the face of this new material that had been kept from us until today," said Worthington.

The main revelation-- investigators think Crow used a gun to kill his wife in late January or early February, "We have an additional 400 pages of material that they served on us today even though a lot of this goes back to the middle of February," said Worthington.

Ryann Bunnell Crow's family reported her missing February 2^nd. Court documents released  show her husband Jesse was the last person to see her. When police went to ask him about her disappearance they say that they found dozens of pot plants in his Prunedale home.

Crow's attorney maintains that his client is not guilty. "He is not responsible for her disappearance and we hope that she will turn up that she is ok but if not if indeed there has been a homicide he has pled not guilty to that charge," said Worthington.
