    Why did Chacey Poynter Kill Her Husband, Robert Poynter

    Where Is Robert Poynter’s Wife Chacey Poynter Now? Why did Chacey Poynter Kill her husband Robert Poynter? – On September 9, 2016, a frantic 911 call prompted the Royse City, Texas, Police Department to act quickly.

    A seasoned firefighter named Robert Poynter was shot in the head while riding in his wife’s Jeep in Royse City, Texas, on an unmaintained county road. His wife, Chacey Poynter, admitted to calling her husband for assistance after claiming that her Jeep had become stuck in the mud to the police. According to Chacey Poynter, Robert Poynter was shot by a man who emerged from the shadows when he entered the car to assist in moving it. She admitted to the police that she didn’t know who shot her fatally.

    The murder inquiry revealed the Poynters’ strained relationship and a cunning plan to murder the 47-year-old firefighter whose wife, then 29, had engaged in numerous extramarital affairs. According to the prosecution, Poynter and Garza planned the murder to collect on her husband’s life insurance policy.

    Michael Graza was a pawn in her depraved scheme to get rid of her firefighter husband and their failing marriage, including her other lovers. He was definitely going to sell the house, get a divorce, and battle for their daughter’s custody. But the monetary gain was also a consideration because Chacey, who was 29 then, intended to claim a $680,000 life insurance policy when her husband passed away.

    Let’s examine the case in depth as NBC Dateline episode “Out of the Darkness,” is ready to revisit the tale this Friday, August 26, 2022. A tangled love triangle and greed purportedly fueled the crime. Let’s find out where is Robert Poynter’s wife, Robert Poynter now.

    Robert and Chacey Poynter

    Why did Chacey Poynter Kill Her Husband, Robert Poynter?

    When Chacey started planning her husband’s murder with Michael Garza, one of the numerous men she was courting at the time, the couple, who had been married since 2009, apparently went through a divorce. She said that her spouse had verbally and physically abused her and threatened to take their daughter away from her.

    The day before the homicide, Chacey allegedly spoke with Michael and said, “I can’t love you unless Robert is out of the picture.”

    She eventually admitted to the crime to the police, saying that she had sex with Garza the day after the shooting at his residence and that they talked about how to make it look like a break-in. To trick her husband into falling victim to a cunning trap, Poynter stated that her Jeep was stuck in the mud.

    Chacey Poynter later claimed in court that she merely wanted to “scare” her husband and had never planned for him to pass away. But despite her requests for him to cease, Graza persisted in his actions. When Chacey tried to call 911, he allegedly shot Robert once in the head and threw her cellphone into a puddle.

    It was the worst crime Royse City had seen in a very long time…

    However, Chacey allegedly lied to the police when she guided them to her husband’s body when they first arrived at the site. The 29-year-old informed authorities that while her husband was helping her with the jeep, an unknown male who had been hiding in the shadows of the bushes approached and fatally shot him. She gradually began to alter the story before finally confessing.

    Later, according to Chacey, “I didn’t want him dead. I just – I wanted him to know what it’s like to be bullied all the time.”

    In her trial before a jury in 2019, Chacey Poynter was accused of using sex and deceit to coerce Michael Garza, her accomplice in the murder, into carrying out all the dirty work. Even later that day, she intended to have sex with another partner.

    Only Garza apparently agreed when she allegedly tried to convince several lovers to kill Robert. They asserted that Poynter had felt compelled to intervene because Robert was probably planning to file for divorce. A claim on Robert’s $680,000 life insurance policy was something else she wanted to do.

    After a two-week trial, Chacey Poynter, who was 32 at the time, was found guilty of capital murder. She was given a life sentence without the possibility of release and is presently being held in the Christina Melton Crain Unit of the Texas prison system. Michael Graza, who received a similar 99-year prison term, is incarcerated at the Barry Telford Unit in Bowie County, Texas.

    This Friday, August 26, 2022, at 10 p.m. ET, NBC Dateline will broadcast its forthcoming episode, “Out of the Darkness.”
