ALLEGAN, Mich. (WZZM) -- Video of a deputy's testimony is shedding light on the murder of an Allegan County woman, as police continue to search for her husband hundreds of miles away. Harold Knight, who is the main suspect in his wife's murder, was last seen in Maine, but investigators say they're not sure if he's still there. WZZM 13 obtained a copy of a video that shows the probable cause hearing in the case, in which a deputy lays out the evidence to a judge.

"Allegan County Central Dispatch received a phone call from an unidentified male," the deputy told the judge.

The caller left no name, just directions to the murder scene, according to the video testimony from a probable cause hearing.

"(He) advised dispatch on a taped line that they did harm to this person and that they were leaving the country," the deputy said.

The call led deputies to a Ganges Township home, where they found the body of Sarah Knight. Investigators later determined the caller was her husband, Harold Knight.

"I did speak with Harold Knight's son who stated that the voice on the recording who made the phone call was his father, Harold Wesley Knight, was now missing," the deputy told the judge.

Investigators say Harold Knight was spotted in Maine last week.

"The family actually lived in Maine for a period of time so that may be the reason," says Captain Frank Baker with the Allegan County Sheriff's Department. "Right now, we are working with federal and state law enforcement and local law enforcement officials to try to determine if he's left that area."
