A Marion man accused of killing his wife last March pleaded guilty Monday to aggravated murder. David Shockey was sentenced to life in prison with the possibility of parole after serving 25 years.
David Shockey’s co-defendant in the case is Danielle Crokie of Bucyrus who was 19 at the time of Shelly Shockey’s death at her home.
Police believe Crokie and David Shockey had a romantic relationship. Shelly Shockey was killed March 9 and her body was found in the basement of the home she shared with David Shockey. It was hidden beneath several other items.
Crokie is scheduled to go on trial in November on charges of complicity to aggravated murder, conspiracy to commit aggravated murder, obstructing justice and tampering with evidence.
