Accused “killer” LTC David P. Bartlett Jr., charged with the brutal beating death of his wife Suzanne at Carlisle Barracks last month, is alleged to have flown into a rage after his wife discovered something “embarrassing” on his home computer screen, informed sources tell MilitaryCorruption.com.

Rumors have been flying around the Barracks and off-post in Carlisle, Pa. as to what exactly that was. We know - but in the interest of a fair trial - we will only say what Suzanne found “greatly upset” her and she confronted her husband. Our CI’s (confidential informants) tell us THAT led to the “fatal fight” in which the popular petite mother of three was beaten and strangled.

BARTLETT KNEW MILITARY CAREER WAS OVER

As his undistinguished military career sputtered to a close – seven years in grade as an LTC and passed over twice for promotion – Bartlett was due to leave the Army this September. The 46 year-old New Hampshire native was trying to land a teaching job at Carlisle High School. He also told friends he was seeking a fulltime position at Harrisburg Community College. But, up until the time of wife Suzanne’s murder, Bartlett had been unsuccessful.

Both civilians and military at Carlisle Barracks tell MilitaryCorruption.com that the light colonel was “never smiling,” “always serious,” and “wound up very tight.” In contrast, his wife was well-liked, out-going and very popular with all who knew her. She was a loving and devoted mother to her three children. Suzanne was Bartlett’s second wife.

We know that Bartlett had missed a lot of work in the three months prior to the events of March 20. Some colleagues at Collins Hall were not surprised when speculation quickly centered on the husband as murder suspect after Suzanne’s body was fished out of the creek near the bowling alley.

Just as we predicted here before any other media, the court-martial will be held at Ft. Meade, Md. CPT Matthew J. MacLean of the Ft. Belvoir, Va. TDS (Trial Defense Service) is defense counsel.
