A Colorado man allegedly killed his wife on New Year’s Eve, a week after 
he was released from jail on bail on a charge of domestic violence against 
her, the Durango Herald reports.

Damon Lamont Mathews, 44, is being charged with first degree murder in the 
death of Rachel Phillips Mathews, 47, at her home in Ignacio. Her family 
said she went by her maiden name, Ream.

Mathews was living in a separate house on Ream’s property despite a 
protection order against him, police said, and the two were celebrating 
the New Year together in that house when they began to argue.

According to police, Mathews said he strangled Ream, then went to the main 
house and took her car keys, money, and a 9mm semi-automatic handgun, 
which he used to shoot her once in the head.

In Ream’s car, he drove several hours to Grand Junction and the Denver 
area, where a tire blew out, the Herald said. At that point, Mathews 
called 911 and said he believed there was a warrant for his arrest on a 
murder charge.

“Damon said he knew if the police came, he would go to jail again because 
of the protection order and because he was on bond for the previous 
domestic violence with Rachel,” the investigating officer wrote.

Court records show that Mathews was arrested for third degree assault and 
domestic violence on November 24 after Ream went to the hospital because 
she was “battered by her husband,” the records say.

Officers found he with multiple injuries, including a gash over the eye 
and several bruises and swelling. She told the officers Matthews had 
assaulted her a few days earlier as well.

Mathews was waiting in a car outside the emergency room. Court records say 
he changed his story several times while talking with officers and was 
arrested. The following day, prosecutors sought a $10,000 bond, but a 
judge set it at $1,500, despite a lengthy history of domestic violence 
against Ream and other women.

He posted the bond on December 25, a week before he killed Rachel Ream. 
Mathews has a hearing on the domestic violence charge on January 21. A 
court date for the murder charge hasn’t been set.
