London, Ky. (WKYT) - Moments after his wife lay in her bed..with two gunshot wounds...Ernest Chris Chumbley picked up the phone and dialed 911. 
 
 “Hello….I just shot my wife,” Chris Chumbley is heard telling the dispatcher in the 911 tapes obtained by WKYT. 
 
 “What happened again?” the dispatcher asks. 
 
 “You need to come out here,” Chumbley responds. 
 
 “Tell me what happened, sir,” the dispatcher requests. 
 
 “Give me police. I’m under arrest,” Chumbley said. 
 
 From jail Chumbley says he shot his wife with a .32 handgun because she was terminally ill with breast cancer..and she asked him to “stop her pain.” 
 
 “I shot her,” he said from the Laurel County Detention Center. “She died from my shots, but it’s not murder.” 
 
 Chumbley said he simply complied with his wife’s request. 
 
 “She told me she wanted me to end her pain. All I said,’Jay, all I’ve got is what the doctor gave you. She said 'no, I want you to stop my pain for good,’” said Chumbley. 
 
 “We’re still investigating this. It’s in the early stages. And there are other people to interview on this case. So we’re not going to speculate on what the circumstances are,” said Gilbert Acciardo with the Laurel Co. Sheriff’s Office. 
 
 Neighbors say the couple had a great marriage that lasted more than 20 years. And one that was very loving between the two. But they say in the last couple of years, the cancer had gotten the best of Virginia Chumbley. 
 
 “She was hurting real bad. We could hear her at night like she was gasping for air,” said next door neighbor Stanley Campbell. 
 
 Chumbley pleaded not guilty to murder charges in Laurel District Court. He’s in jail on a $200,000 cash bond. He doesn’t blame police for arresting him. 
 
 “I just did what she asked. And I would expect no different from her if I was asking her,” said Chumbley. 
 
 Police say Chumbley gave them no trouble when they arrived to arrest him after the shooting Wednesday morning. 
 
 He is set to undergo a preliminary hearing on Tuesday, Sept. 5th at 11 a.m. ||||| Aug 28, 2013 6:49 PM 
 
 Laurel County Man Admits To Killing Wife, Says She Asked Him To 
 
 A Laurel county man is facing murder charges after sheriff's deputies say he shot and killed his wife early Wednesday morning. 
 
 Virginia Chumbley's body was found in a home on Greenlawn Subdivision Road. Her husband, Ernest Chumbley, spoke with LEX18 from jail and explained why he did it. He said it was her final wish that he kill her and put her out of her misery. 
 
 Chumbley admitted to killing his wife, but said he was just doing what she asked him to do. 
 
 "She told me to end the pain, stop the pain," said Ernest Chumbley. 
 
 From the Laurel county jail, Chumbley said through tears he killed his wife. 
 
 "Did I want to do it? For her I did. No, I don't. I didn't want to do it," he said. 
 
 It happened at their home on Greenlawn Subdivision around 2:30 a.m. Wednesday. Deputies say Ernest called 911 after shooting his wife. 
 
 911 Call: 
 
 Operator: "Hello" 
 
 Ernest: "Yes, I've shot my wife," 
 
 His defense is that it was a mercy killing. He says Virginia has been fighting cancer for several years now. 
 
 "She mentioned hospice and all that, she didn't want that," Ernest said. "I loved her. I love her, and she took it as far as she wanted to go." 
 
 And although they were shocked, a neighbor had the same reaction when we told them the news. 
 
 
 
 "The only reason I could think he shot her is she probably asked him to, because she was hurting so bad," said Stan Campbell. 
 
 Now, Ernest says, the only comfort he has, is that he granted her last wish, 
 
 
 
 "She isn't in pain no more. She's a good woman, a good woman..." he said. 
 
 Chumbley is facing murder charges, meanwhile funeral arragements for his wife are still pending. Virginia Chumbley's body has been sent to Frankfort for an autopsy. ||||| TUESDAY UPDATE: Charges have been filed against Yesenia Sesmas in the death of Laura Abarca-Nogueda and the kidnapping of her baby, Sophia. 
 
 District Attorney Marc Bennett has not said what charges were filed. His office released a statement explaining the extradition process Tuesday morning:. 
 
 “This morning, the Office of the District Attorney filed charges against Yesenia Sesmas in Sedgwick County District Court. Procedurally, the State of Kansas will now notify authorities in Texas of the intent to pursue extradition of Ms. Sesmas. The Texas courts will then attend to the extradition process. This process is expected to take up to 90 days. At such time as Ms. Sesmas is returned to the Sedgwick County jail, a first appearance will be held on the charges now filed. At that time the charging document which details the charges will be made available to the media. Note that all persons accused of any crime retain the presumption of innocence until proven guilty.” 
 
 ---- 
 
 MONDAY EVENING UPDATE: Authorities say Yesenia Sesmas is booked in a Texas jail on charges of first-degree murder and aggravated kidnapping. She's also booked on an outstanding felony warrant. 
 
 Monday, Sesmas spoke with our Univision partners in Dallas from jail. She says she is guilty of shooting Laura Abarca Nogueda. 
 
 Sesmas says she never meant to kill Laura; she just wanted her infant, Sophia. 
 
 Police say Sesmas used to work with Laura and knew her for several years. Sesmas claims to have lost a child and that Laura had agreed to give her a child if she had a girl. 
 
 "I only wanted to threaten her in case she wouldn't give (Sophia) to me, but the gun went off," Sesmas says. 
 
 When asked if she regrets what she did, Sesmas said, 'yes.' 
 
 It's the kind of case psychologists say is incredibly rare and the people who usually commit these crimes are obsessed. 
 
 In such a crime, psychologist Dr. Molly Allen says losing a child can be a motivating factor. 
 
 "They had generally got to an obsessive part of their being where it's like they may have a thwarted wish to have a baby," Allen says. 
 
 She says people can become so obsessed, their minds go to dark and twisted places. 
 
 Sophia's family says the situation is difficult for them, finding out that someone who knew Laura is to blame for their pain. 
 
 Sophia's uncle, Jose Abarca says although still in shock, he's more calm knowing Sesmas is behind bars. Still, he says that won't be enough to relieve the pain she's caused him and his family. 
 
 Sophia's grandmother says the holidays were going to be special this year because of Sophia's arrival. She says Sesmas took that away from them. 
 
 Though grieving Laura's loss, the family says it wants to thank the community for all of the support they've received.

 SATURDAY MORNING UPDATE: 
 
 BREAKING: Baby Sophia was found and is safe. Two suspects in Dallas are in custody. Wichita Police Chief Gordon Ramsay says at about 4:30 a.m. Saturday, a search warrant led to a home in Dallas where the two people were taken into custody. 
 
 Friday evening, Wichita Police say investigators identified a possible suspect in the homicide / abduction reported Thursday night in the 200 block of North Brunswick in west Wichita. Police say investigators "established probable cause that (a) suspect abducted Sophia and fled to Dallas." 
 
 "Baby Sophia is in protective custody and doing well," Ramsay says. "Family has been notified and we are working to reunite them as soon as possible." 
 
 Ramsay says the two adults taken into custody knew the family, but can't say more about the relationship or motivation for the crime. 
 
 Ramsay says his staff worked on the case around the clock with help from the KBI, the Sedgwick County District Attorney's Office and the FBI. 
 
 He says the FBI's help in the search for Sophia led to the infant being found in Dallas. He also credited the Dallas Police Department for executing the Saturday morning search that led them to Sophia. 
 
 "Dallas (Police) dropped everything early this morning to execute the search warrant," Ramsay say. 
 
 Specifically, Wichita Police say a Dallas SWAT unit executed the search warrant. 
 
 "Our investigators traveled to Dallas to identify Sophia and manage other follow-up," WPD Sgt. Nikki Woodrow says in a written statement Saturday morning. 
 
 "The resources and expertise shared by the Federal Bureau of Investigation agents and analysts were invaluable," Woodrow says." 
 
 Wichita Police also gave credit to the Sedgwick County DA for tirelessly working closely with the department. 
 
 Baby Sophia's family and friends tell Eyewitness News she could be reunited with her father as early as this afternoon, however it could take longer because of the complexity of the case and the fact that she was found in Dallas. 
 
 Ramsay said at the Saturday morning news conference that police are working on making that reunion happen. 
 
 Family members tell us they are appreciative of the community support, and plan to talk later today (Saturday). Until then they are asking for privacy. 
 
 While Sophia has been found, Ramsay says, "this is still very much an active investigation." Among the questions yet to be answered is what motivated the shooting death of Sophia's mother, Laura Abarca-Nogueda. 
 
 "This is a complicated case and we want to make sure we get it right," Ramsay says. 
 
 The Wichita PD Chief says while the story has "the best possible outcome," the case is tragic. Ramsay says his department appreciates "community patience and support through this difficult investigation."

 THURSDAY NIGHT UPDATE: 
 
 Police say six-day-old Sofia Victoria Gonzalez Abarca remains missing, but they are no longer searching for a purple Cadillac. 
 
 "We have contacted the occupant of the purple Cadillac. We are no longer looking for that car," police say. 
 
 Police have not identified the Cadillac's driver as a suspect in the case. 
 
 --- 
 
 Police say six-day-old Sofia Victoria Gonzalez Abarca could be in danger as they continue to work to track down leads. 
 
 Sofia's mother, a woman in her mid-20's, was found fatally shot Thursday afternoon in the 200 block of North Brunswick in west Wichita. 
 
 The shooting is being investigated as a suspicious death and police say there is no danger to anyone in the neighborhood. Wichita Police Sgt. Nikki Woodrow says officers have knocked on every door in the neighborhood and have talked to neighbors. 
 
 "Everybody's safe around here," she says. 
 
 Police say they have been in contact with Sofia's father, but he is not considered a suspect, nor a person of interest at this time. 
 
 Thursday afternoon, as family members arrived on scene, many of them were emotional, some crying. Neighbors also said they were shocked, and Thursday night, the suspicious death had some too frightened to say in their homes. 
 
 Parents who live in the area say they're thinking about the missing infant and the constant care she needs. 
 
 "I just feel horrible for them because she's only six days old. As a parent, I just love my baby so much, I can't imagine," one neighbor says. 
 
 Another neighbor says before he knew the age of the missing baby, he thought it might've been his own daughter, gone missing. 
 
 Woodrow says police continue trying to track down any leads they can. She says this includes anyone they can find that has, or has had any kind of relationship with the family. 
 
 Woodrow also addressed why an Amber Alert has not been issued for Sofia's disappearance. She says the case does not meet the criteria from the Kansas Bureau of Investigation for an Amber Alert. It's up to the KBI to issue an alert. 
 
 You can find the KBI's criteria for the alert: HERE 
 
 Thursday evening, Woodrow provided the following explanation for why there hasn't been an Amber Alert 
 
 "One of the criteria includes knowing suspect information to be able to put out to the public At this time the Wichita Police Department does not have any suspect information to put out, therefore no Amber alert can be issued at this time," Woodrow says. "The Wichita Police Department is working closely with the KBI and if any facts change, and a suspect is determined, an Amber alert will be issued immediately. Again, what's important to focus on at this time is that there is a six day old missing and we need to share this information in order to help find her."

– "Hello … I just shot my wife." That's how Ernest Chris Chumbley introduced himself to a 911 operator yesterday morning. "Give me police. I'm under arrest," he said, according to a tape obtained by WKYT. Sure enough, police arrived to find his wife Virginia dead, and took a compliant Chumbley into custody. "She died from my shots, but it's not murder," the Kentucky man said, explaining that she'd asked him to shoot her because she was suffering from breast cancer. "She told me she wanted me to end her pain. I said, 'Jay, all I’ve got is what the doctor gave you.' She said 'no, I want you to stop my pain for good,'" Chumbley said. "I just did what she asked. And I would expect no different from her if I was asking." He's been charged with murder anyway, and has pleaded not guilty. He's in jail on a $200,000 bond. Neighbors say the two had a loving marriage, and tell LEX18 that they believe his story. "The only reason I could think he shot her is she probably asked him to, because she was hurting so bad," one said.
