The search continues for a Gardner, Massachusetts, man wanted for murder in the shooting death of his wife last month, the Worcester County District Attorney's Office said Wednesday.
Aaron Pennington, 33, is charged in the fatal shooting of his wife, Breanne Pennington, 30, inside the couple's Gardner home on Oct. 22. The killing set off a manhunt in the area that's included searches by foot, by air and in water. Aaron Pennington's car was located off Kelton Street near Camp Collier last week, but as of this writing, he has not been found.
