FAYETTEVILLE — A woman who drove up to a Fayetteville police station Saturday, reporting her husband was dead in their RV, faces murder charges in connection with his death.

Investigators believe the crime occurred in Dunn, where the husband was last seen alive.

An autopsy is being performed to determine how he died.

Theresa Barutcievich is scheduled to make her first court appearance Monday in Lillington.
