Whitney's story
Whitney Gonzales told police that the two got into a fight after leaving her mother's house in Kiowa County that night, and that he stormed off. She claims she accidentally ran over her husband when she took the car out to go search for him.
The two shared two daughters, ages two and seven months old, who are now in the care of their grandmother.
Gonzales' sister Jessica, and other family members, said that the two were in an abusive relationship, and that Whitney had turned her husband into a punching bag on several occasions in the past, leaving him with a black eye.
'He's our baby brother and she's supposed to be his wife. How could she do this?' Jessica Gonzales asked in tears
Pete's family believe Whitney ran over Pete on purpose, and are upset that she hasn't yet been arrested.
Even more damning is the fact that Oklahoma Highway Patrol officers said they smelt alcohol on Whitney when she reported the incident early Sunday morning.
