“How? How? How?” the dispatcher asked.

“There’s blood all over me, and there’s a bloody knife on the bed,” Phelps replied. “I think I did it.”

“I can’t believe I did this,” he continued after a long pause over the phone with the dispatcher. Phelps admitted taking Coricidin, a cough and cold medicine, because it made him “feel good” and couldn’t sleep at night. He also told the dispatcher he was covered in dried blood and didn’t help his wife because he didn’t know if she was breathing.

“Oh my God,” he said. “Oh God. She didn’t deserve this. Why?” The couple was married in November, according to their social media pages.

Phelps, who worked at a landscaping company, studied missions and evangelism at the Clear Creek Baptist Bible College in Pineville, Ky., according to his Facebook page.

He was a studying to become a pastor while his wife was a Sunday school teacher, ABC News reported. Lauren often posted photos of her and her husband on Instagram and wrote about their relationship on social media.
