Lebanon, Ohio (AP) -- The head of the Warren County Convention and Visitors Bureau says an employee accused of murdering his wife should be cleared and will have his job waiting.

Twenty-seven-year-old Ryan Widmer is on paid leave from his sports-marketing job with the bureau while being held on 1 million dollars bond. Prosecutors say widmer killed his wife, who suffered undisclosed injuries and was found in the bathtub at the couple's home.

Widmer has other supporters besides his boss. Members of his wife's family have said they don't believe he would have harmed 24-year-old Sarah Widmer.

The husband is due for arraignment Wednesday in Lebanon.
