FAYETTEVILLE, N.C. — Tyson Alvarez recalled what it was like to hear his ex-wife was charged with murder.
Alvarez was married from 1996 - 2006 to Avantae Deven, the Fayetteville woman charged with murdering her two adopted children.
“To hear this about her being involved in a murder, it’s shocking,” Alvarez said.
Avantae Deven is accused of killing her two adopted children, Blake Deven and London Deven. Authorities arrested her on June 26.
Alvarez and Avantae Deven got married in 1996 in Clark County, Nevada, at a Las Vegas wedding. Alvarez said during a move to Montana, he saw something that made him reconsider what he knew about his wife.
