SUMMIT COUNTY, Colo.- A Summit County jury has convicted Dale Bruner in the second-degree murder of his wife, Stephanie Roller-Bruner.

A jury deliberated over Bruner's fate for only four hours before finding him guilty in the 2010 murder on all six counts, including two counts of assault and three counts of tampering with evidence.

Bruner originally told authorities Roller-Bruner went for a walk on a cold November night and never came home.

Her body was found three days later. Prosecutors say strangulation, blunt force trauma, hypothermia and drowning were contributing factors in her death.

Bruner is set to be sentenced Sept. 28.
