July 25, 2024

An Escambia County man is accused of murdering his wife, who was reported missing, and a dog.

Timothy Joseph Kramer, 51, was arrested by the Milton Police Department. He is facing charges of homicide and animal cruelty in Escambia County, according to the Escambia County Sheriff’s office.

About 11:30 p.m. Tuesday, the Escambia County Sheriff’s Office issued a notice that 47-year-old Rosa Maria Kramer was missing and was last seen about 6 a.m. Tuesday. The sheriff’s office said that time that she was possibly in the company of Timothy Kramer.

Deputies said Rosa Kramer was found dead at a home in the 2600 block of Hillcrest Avenue, about a block from Longleaf Elementary School. They said a dog was also found with a gunshot wound; it later died after being taken for veterinarian care.

Kramer remained in the Escambia County Jail Thursday morning without bond.

    @justwow, and it costs $3-4 million to execute them. It is best to leave them in for life, it is more cost-effective. Finish your research into prison costs, instead of copy-pasting the first Google result. So execution to save money is not a valid argument, and no one uses a cheap bullet for state executions.

    As of July 2023, the average time on Florida Death Row is 23 years, according to the Florida Dept of Corrections. Apparently one guy has been on there for over 45 years. If this guys is convicted and sentenced to death, He is more likely to die of old age then execution and in the meantime, the State will pick up his legal fees estimated to run between $500K- $1M per death row inmate.

    Rest in peace, Rosa Kramer. Every murder victim deserves respect, remembrance, and justice. If convicted and all facts verified with no mistakes or corruption, this man should receive the death penalty in less than 10 years. Alabama just executed a convict who murdered a man in 1998. That is way too long for a family to wait for justice.

    @JTV

    Why? What would lethal injection accomplish that life in prison would not?

    The prison sentences for abusing/killing your spouse/SO and child abuse/molestation needs to be standardized and harsh. I know it will never stop it because they always think they can lie their way out of it but it at least some of them could be taken off the streets forever

    @JTV::: you are so right in what you are saying and when convicted shot him up very quickly like after he’s convicted within 20 minutes !!!!

    If convicted, this one needs some lethal injection treatment.
