Joe Finley: Someone Killed My Wife!
Two days after his wife was found dead, an America's Got Talent contestant named Joe Finley has made a public plea: Someone killed her!
Laura Finley was found dead in a stairwell at the Millennium Biltmore Hotel in downtown Los Angeles on early Saturday morning. She was in town because Joe wanted to audition for the NBC competition.
Considered a person of interest, Joe was actually arrested for drug possession the day Laura died. He's admitted both he and his wife were on ecstasy the night she was found and that he last saw Laura alive around 3 a.m. on Saturday.
Her body was discovered five and a half hours later.
"Somebody threw her off that railing," Joe told TMZ today, adding that Laura's death was "100% not an accident" and, of course, that he did not kill her.
Joe says he awoke early Saturday morning and his wife was missing. He then asked the hotel to page her over the public address system - and then left for his audition around 2 p.m. Cops stopped him on the way, showed him a picture of his wife's injured face and then took him into questioning.
After a few hours, the police released him and Joe still went to the audition, despite admitting that he thought his wife was dead.
We'll have more on this story as news breaks.

My deepest sympathies go out to Joe Finley and his family and to his wife's parents especially... I assume that M. Sebelist is closely related by the comment and I can picture those events which follow Joe's testemony accordingly. Being a musician myself I'm not sure how I would have reacted in his shoes - music being that tranquil place where I go to escape life at times I can see where that would be not only a release but a tribute to someone I cared very much for as well. A heartfelt way to say "Good-bye" undoubtedly although I doubt that I could have pulled it off under those conditions at all. In my opinion - if you have spent 27 years supporting your soulmate's dreams as she obviously has, there is a bond or she wouldn't have been there to begin with and he didn't strike me as the devious, self-indulgent type who would claw his way to the top if need be! May God be with you, Joe! For all it's worth... I believe you, man!

Get your facts straight. Joe woke up and Laura was not in the room because the plan was she would get breakfast. I watched a video of their entire evening including them getting into bed where she states she will get up before him to pick up the breakfast. So no big deal yet. joe got in line at 6:30 AM anticipating she would join him in line with food. She was very iterested in the history of the hotel , so to not show up for an hour was not unusual. After an hour he called his son to see if he had heard from Mom . Nothing yet. Around 8 AM it became very scary and he called the police and was crying when the show manager heard what was going on he asked if Joe wanted to come in ahead of the line, perform and proceed with his song. He said he didn't think he could and said he would try. He sang I will love you forever to Laura , a few retakes as he kept breaking down. Laura would have wanted that she adored him. After this he voluntered to go e police station to tell everything he k
