Is Mindy McCready Being Investigated in the Shooting Death of Her Boyfriend?

MINDY MCCREADY may be a suspect in the death of her boyfriend, David Wilson, whom everyone thought had killed himself back on January 13th. But the police NEVER said it was a suicide . . . and there are suspicious details that they're still investigating. Plus, it's just coming out that Wilson may have been CHEATING on Mindy . . . and he was there that day to break up with her.

A sheriff's spokesman told "The National Enquirer", quote, "This is a very high-profile case and we need to make sure it’s investigated as thoroughly as possible.

And then there's the missing bullet. A source told "The Enquirer" that police couldn't find it until the next day. Did someone hide it? Bullets can be traced to the gun they're fired from . . . so whoever owns that gun could be a suspect.

But the biggest bombshell is that Wilson was allegedly CHEATING on Mindy. The source said, quote, "David had been carrying on an affair for many weeks before the shooting. When Mindy found out, it fueled a lot of very heated fights. "The tension in their household became so unbearable that David packed up and left. He returned several days later to tell Mindy that he was going to leave her for good."

Police in Heber Springs, Arkansas, have NOT named any suspects . . . but that could change. The source added, quote, "There [are] a lot of elements to the case that police feel simply don't seem to add up."
