Theresa Cachuela had already received threats from her husband

According to authorities, a judge had granted the woman a temporary restraining order against Jason Cachuela, with whom she had been in a relationship for almost 11 years. This petition was filed on December 8, as the man had threatened to commit suicide in front of her and her children on December 6.

According to the woman’s statements, her husband took her to a place alone and held a knife to her throat. Then the next morning, the man showed up at Theresa’s house to apologize, but continued to make suicidal threats.
