A Portland, Oregon, woman suspected in the murder of her husband was found dead Tuesday after nearly a month on the run, authorities said.

Analiesa Golde was found dead from an apparent self-inflicted gunshot wound near Long Beach, a coastal town in southwest Washington, the Portland Police Bureau said in a statement. Golde’s Toyota 4Runner was also recovered. 

Golde was wanted in connection to the murder of her husband, 37-year-old Phillip E. Pierce, in Portland, Oregon.

Pierce was found dead on Jan. 26 in the Lents neighborhood of Portland. Police had responded to a home in the 9300 block of Southeast Sun Crest Drive after getting a call about a missing person.

Police forced entry into the locked home to conduct a welfare check and said Pierce was found dead under “suspicious” circumstances. It was later revealed that Pierce had suffered a gunshot wound, and his death was determined to be the result of a homicide.
