MURDER SUSPECT Todd Winkler shows Judge Phimister band aids on his hands from defensive wounds as his attorney, David Weiner asks that his client be allowed to get out on bail in El Dorado Superior Court on Friday. Democrat photo by Shelly Thorene
Todd Winkler, the man accused of killing his wife in their Cameron Airpark home on Feb. 28 appeared in court for an arraignment and bail hearing on Friday amidst more information being brought forth about the case.
Claiming self-defense, he was neverthelss denied bail.
Winkler was represented by attorney David Weiner, who described the defendant as an “unusual individual.” Winkler, Weiner said, is a 45-year-old with no criminal record, who graduated from as valedictorian from his high school in Iowa. He attended the Air Force Academy, and later attended college, where he received a Bachelor of Science in Electrical Engineering and later an MBA. He served in the Air Force for eight years, including his time at the academy, attended pilot training school and later flew F16s in the Asia Pacific Theater. Most recently, he worked as a director of his division in a company that creates medical devices for those with diabetes, Weiner said.
Weiner painted a picture of Winkler as a good man, who called his neighbor, attorney David Becker, and told him to call 911 after the incident with his wife. He took his three children to another neighbor’s house and waited until the sheriff’s deputies arrived. He cooperated and continues to cooperate, Weiner said.
There were defensive wounds on his hands, which had until recently been bandaged, and injuries on his inner thighs from scissors wielded by his wife. They had been sustained in the bedroom during a “marital situation,” Weiner said.
Both parties had known a divorce was coming, with Rachel Winkler already having another boyfriend, identified only as Mr. White, and an argument ensued over money issues, custody and support. Todd Winkler had felt threatened by his wife.
“Want me to bring Mr. White over here with a gun to kill you?” Weiner quoted from a statement from Winkler.
After having been attacked by his wife with scissors and striking her in return, Winkler was able to get the scissors and fatally stab his wife in the throat.
Weiner argued that Winkler was not a flight risk and should be eligible for bail, reading from a list of reasons. He also noted that neighbors were present in the courtroom to vouch for Winkler. Weiner made the argument that Winkler should be granted bail to continue working and supporting his children. While White and Rachel Winkler had been “busy dividing up his monthly income, assuming she would get the children,” Winkler was being nothing but an “asset to the community and country.”
The attorney also noted that Winkler would likely be tried on a count of voluntary manslaughter or self-defense, and that the trial was not likely to conclude with a murder charge.
Te District Attorney’s Office, represented jointly by Lisette Suder and Jodie Jensen, argued that Winkler is indeed a flight risk, and that it was irresponsible to have the children in the house during the argument, including times when one of their children was in the room with them.
They pointed out that, contrary to Weiner’s statement that Winkler had “roots” in the community for owning a house there for seven years and living there for four, Winkler lacked ties to the community. He also worked out of the Bay Area, rather than locally, had contacts in Australia from having recently lived there and had worked overseas on numerous business trips. With these contacts and his $300,000 salary, they argued, Winkler presents a significant flight risk.
Based on the evidence presented, Judge Douglas C. Phimister denied bail without prejudice, saying he would be open to reconsidering bail at another time.
Winkler’s next hearing is set for March 7 at 8 a.m.

mmm.. seems like there's more to this than face value. Mr. White should come forward.
Airpark ResidentMarch 05, 2012 - 10:01 pm
I agree, Mr. James White should step forward after all he has shown in court. From my recollection he may need to answer to the UCMJ for adultery....if he is in the USMC. This is also very unfitting of a true Marine. His Facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/Ammosmith May justice shed light on the truth so we can all learn!
ChrisMarch 06, 2012 - 7:01 am
mmm.. who says Mr. White HASN'T come forward?
Walking TallMarch 06, 2012 - 8:33 am
Domestic Violence is and always will be hard to understand why those involved can't just leave, that said it does appear that the end result has again taken a life and the case will be heard and the truth found. Let the investigation prove what happened and let the justice system handle the case and we all should hear all that is known before we judge.
Judy LehmanMarch 06, 2012 - 3:23 pm
Uh, am I the only one who watches CSI? Inner thigh wounds are easy to self-inflict and why if she was trying to kill him wouldn't she go for his chest. Also if he got the scissors away from her why stab her in the throat? That's definitely a fatal blow intended. Yes, he is a very smart man and smart enough to plan things out.
C StarMarch 06, 2012 - 3:54 pm
Mr. White was at that arraignment... it is up to the attorneys to determine his involvement in court process. We miss you, Rachel. In my heart I don't believe you could have done what Todd is claiming. Either way... I will always remember you with a smile on your face. I pray you're at peace and that justice is found for what he did to you.
s,s G-5March 06, 2012 - 5:14 pm
Rachel was loving and wonderful mother and friend. She would never attack anyone, not even her wacked husband. He abandon her and those babies alog time ago. He was never around and i mean never. He was about himself and making money, He put his needs first and his families last. Her home was a mess, allways in construction, she had no kitchen it was awful. I love rachel and i will be there for those babies forever i promise. They mean so much to me and i will tell them what an awesome mommy you are. see you in paradise Rachel....
ZarrieMarch 07, 2012 - 10:05 am
I agree with the last post- He left her years ago- I know for a fact that he was never ever around. Rachel was the kindest most loving person and I hope she had a few months of happiness w mr white. I am so angry and devistated that he took her from those beautiful babies, love u Rachel
DietoddyMarch 07, 2012 - 10:25 am
I knew both Rachel and the accused personally for about 5 years. He was a friend of my boyfriend- he was a selfish and odd individual. I ended up telling my boyfriend that I could not spend time with him anymore, despite the fact that I really did adore Rachel and the kids- I just could not tolerate his sleaziness. We saw them last before their son was born- I hope this man gets what he deserves-
CP061March 07, 2012 - 6:08 pm
Very tragic situation for all and horrible for the kids. Some very personal reflection here and it sounds like most of you were pretty selfish in that you did not help this couple with 3 kids. It's easy for you to now be critical! Glad you're not my friend. And CSI queen, really! You presume that she was going after his chest. Answer this one for yourself----what area might, just may have been, the intended area? And yes, I have some experience in this and not from TV education. All Mr. James Wright has to present is that he has been a key "explanation" to this matter. Maybe the anguish that all of you hold should be directed at this nothing person whose life is such in disarray to prey on a married woman of 3 VERY young children. He should come forward and admit his adulterous acts. He should be recorded in the minds of everyone so they can see him for the piece of the pie that he owns here. Not to mention that he looks like a 2nd rate transient who was so poorly dressed and wearing combat boots. USMC service, he is a disgrace and would be punished under military rules for his involvement. He would lose his career though it does not seem he has one to date. And for the "always gone" I guess it would make right the actions of many spouses who cheat on their Navy husbands/wives while out at sea for 6+ months. That would be perfectly ok?? Based on your standard it would be. This is the same situation. Do you know who keeps the airlines operating? It is the business traveler. This is not an unusual situation. Again, maybe you should support your friends better and help avert such tragic situations.
Piper10March 10, 2012 - 10:06 am
As far as "Mr. Wright" goes...he's a good man. He has been at every hearing. No one knew rachel better than he did. When you get Airpark residents like Mike Porkey coming to stand with Todd shows his true colors. Adultery or not...this woman did not deserve to die. Also when you have people like Mike Porkey and Two Buck talking about a situation they know nothing about. Done worry...porkey or two Buck..neither of your wives are at risk for an affair from any man.
C StarMarch 11, 2012 - 5:43 pm
As much as I agree with you... keep in mind that the four people who were "coming to stand with Todd" were subpoenaed by the court, not necessarily on his side. Pretty sure I know (and am closely related, actually) to one of the two you referenced... and from our conversation, he tells me he is reserving judgement and not allowing himself to be influenced by his own personal opinion. If he won't give his opinion to his daughter, I doubt he will admit to having one to anyone else. Some people were there because they had to be...
C StarMarch 10, 2012 - 10:34 am
I agree, Piper10. Mr. White actually has nothing to do with any of the legal issues here. The question isn't whether Rach was leaving or not... whether her new boyfriend was a Marine or a garbageman. What matters here is DID TODD KILL RACHEL in an act of rage, or in self defense. Mr. White wasn't in that house the day Rachel was killed. Todd Winkler was. And it is time to let the evidence speak and leave other people out of it. Whatever your personally feelings are toward Mr. White - and to be fair, we can't count my personally feelings about losing Rachel, either - that is not relevant to the issue at hand. The only issue here is who had the scissors first, and why. Leave Mr. White alone. Despite how everything might look to us on the outside..... he still just lost the love of his life. Show just a modicum of respect, maybe? Or if not respect, at least a little humanity.
CP061March 11, 2012 - 4:19 pm
Mr. White had EVERYTHING to do with this. Solution to relationship problems are only complicated by extramarital affairs. This is why adultery is frowned upon by most though obviously not Piper10 who allowed this to occur under his roof. There's many details to come but remove the adultery and ask if we would be here today?? There's only one answer and that is we would not be here in this situation. The 3 innocent children would not be missing their mother or father. Mr. White, you are an adulterous scumbag and the USMC condemns your actions and would punish you for your part in this. Piper10, you now have your true legacy!
C StarMarch 11, 2012 - 4:41 pm
NO! No no no. Relationship problems are not caused by extramarital affairs, it's the other way around! Affairs result when there are elements of the original relationship that are fundamentally wrong! James White, whatever moral issues you may have with him, DID NOT STAB RACHEL IN THE NECK! TODD DID! We wouldn't be debating this if he hadn't KILLED her. Why are you turning him into a victim? Todd is not the victim! And EVEN -- EVEN IF Rachel had the scissors first, James White is STILL not responsible for her death. Good Marine or bad Marine, Rachel and Todd's marriage was still a bad one fundamentally, and had the potential to end no matter what or who YOU think the catalyst was.
CP061March 11, 2012 - 5:13 pm
Bad marriage made worse by James White and that is all there is to it. You say it yourself, he is a "catalyst"....you can have several elements but some are more volitile than others. Extramarital affairs are just that. Many families stay together, whether they should or should not, and deal with the problems they have. Neither you or I or anyone else know all the details. However, this sick home wrecker should have stayed away from this ill marriage. I have seen this type of relationship before, we probably all have and there are probably many we do not see. Throw in some misguided societal failure with no moral compass and look what it can escalate. This is not the proximate cause. You mention mechanism of injury that became public knowledge but you preclude other statements that arrived that same day. Is your moral compass just as misdirected as James White's? Chances are we would not be debating this today if those like James White did not exist. We would not have to hear that Rachel had been stabbed. We would not have to hear that Rachel came after Todd with scissors. We would not have a 3 kids up in arms. We would not have James White showing up in court still mourning the loss of a married woman of 3 little children. That is just sick!!
C StarMarch 11, 2012 - 5:21 pm
Sick or not, wrong or not, that is not my debate! What I am saying is that LEGALLY there is no responsibilty for James to bear. What is the point of him coming forward? What does that change? Really? Rachel is still dead. In all likelihood, Todd killed her. Other than to bear the brunt of your criticism, why does Mr. White need to step forward at all?
C StarMarch 11, 2012 - 5:24 pm
Scratch that -- not "in all likelihood" -- he did kill her. No doubt. The question is whether or not it was self-defense, which... still has nothing to do with Rachel's choice in who she was involved with.
Walking TallMarch 12, 2012 - 7:59 am
A triangle starts and ends on itself and this one resulted in a tragic death and now we all are left to sentence the responsible party and listen to the reasons why, but the end result is several lives have been affected and will be for years to come when adults make bad choices. Hope this case ends quick and no more hurt is felt by those on the outside the cause, here's hoping that Todd admits his guilt and the lawyers loose and he is sentenced fast and long.
RobMarch 12, 2012 - 6:48 pm
I met the accused in 2007 and subsequently his wife a short time later. During a personal discussion about work related stress, the accused had said that his work related stress was making him homicidal. Early 2008, before they returned to the US, he asked me to work with him on future projects. I politely declined, as I wasn’t comfortable with his character any longer. None of this explains what has happened, but they are facts. In my last email to Rachel, I asked her how Todd was. I have subsequently found out that his past has other sad events, but I won’t go into them here, as they would betray the trust of another friend.
CP061March 12, 2012 - 8:31 pm
How many times do people say they feel "homicidal" and especially related to work? Do you really think this leads to motive? I heard this statement from co-workers today. We don't live in Disneyland, you can only visit! This whole thing is horrible but everyone is pointing the finger without having the facts! What if, what if, what if! It's interesting that when a husband is killed sympathy still pours out for the wife and probably without knowing the facts. I bet you would prefer to work with James White...oh yeah, wait, Marine flunky. What could you do with him? Marine, I'm sure he's never said the word "homicidal" though allegded, he was going to "come over and kill the accused". I'm sure this was not said, no never!
Get realMarch 13, 2012 - 7:21 pm
CP061, you have a lot of hostility towards this James fella. And the marines. I will not sink to your level-which seems base at best. But I will say this. Todd was trained. He was big and he was strong. No woman was going to hurt him, I don't care how fit she was or whether she was weilding a weapon...Todd knows how to take care of himself. Todd WAS a friend of mine, as was Rachel. And after not seeing them for a while, I cannot believe what's happened. It is both devastating and tragic and given that no-one else was in the room, we'll never know. But you CP061, you are using the online community to vent your misplaced anger from, I am guessing, situations in your own life. I see you referenced the bible on another site...so let me ask you, you poor excuse for a christian, what would your Jesus do here and now? Would he rant and rave like a lunatic? Or would he offer compassion and love? You, are a disgrace and should be ashamed of yourself. As for Todd and Rachel; as someone who loved them both and spent wonderful happy times with them, I am sad that their tide turned. I've lost two friends and there are three kids who've lost both their parents...None of us have the right to march to judgement here, we should just be thinking of moving forward and helping these kids heal and move on.
CP061March 13, 2012 - 9:13 pm
Get Real & SIB 88, you are both off base and truly have very low intelligence to resolve by turning to name calling and insults. I have the up most respect for the law and finding out the facts before casting judgement. I do feel our society and the beliefs that you two possess diminishes "community" by which many people still have respect. I do not claim to have religion on my side but certainly respect the foundations for many aspects of its beliefs and morale commitments whether Christian, Judaism, Muslim, or other belief of high being. I respect my Country and those who serve. I do not respect those who make a mockery of what Integrity stands for. I do not respect those who cannot live up to the standards for which they have sworn oath to. I do believe in capital punishment for those found guilty under the law through the process of our well established court system. Misplaced anger, not even close there. I'm very content with the success I have in family, friends, career, and inner peace with everyday life. The world is not a rosy place sometimes but if cared for and managed is very great. I am not in financial ruin due to bad decisions. Though times are working well for me I still count my blessings as I am not naive. Don't begin to try and dishevel my words here so that you might bring me down...it doesn't work. I am educated and well traveled. I have witnessed impoverishment and catastrophic devastation. I have confronted racism and empowered opportunity for deserving. My heart yearns for children in distress and I have provided direct assistance to some in the worse situations. Do not attach my moral character or accuse me of ranted. My statements are educated and well rounded. Again, your insults show that you lack intelligence. From both of you it is incredibly interesting that you show up only now on the door step of this issue and offer judgement when you know nothing of these two from the last month, 1/2 year, 12 months...you do not know what was going on during the day to day. Nor do I and I do not claim to know. There are many absolutes here and more unknowns: a US Marine must maintain Integrity---this is absolute! Read the Rifleman's Creed. Yeah, it's about your rifle but it is also about the Marine. The Creed translates to everything that a Marine should be. You obviously would not understand this but give it a shot. If there is any bias or judgement it is only about James White. He was wrong to step in between this couple. He should have offered guidance in a manner that would have kept his pants on. He should have sought the message from what he presumable was taught by the USMC. He is weak. He is lost. He is now very lonely following a very sad plight that he may have been able to avert had he not lost sight of humanity and the adolescence of three beautiful children.
Sib88March 13, 2012 - 9:55 am
CP061 - you are an idiot and a loser who probably needs male enhancement surgery. Clearly you have issues and 1st hand experience being cheated on. If this were really Todd's motivations wouldn't Mr White have been a better recipient of the scissors? Todd was a coward much like you. The focus now should be on the children and their loss and recovery.
KristinMarch 13, 2012 - 10:18 am
The main concern here is the fact that these 3 young children were in a home when their mother was killed by their father! These children dont understand why their mommy is gone and now why their daddy is gone too! Unfortunatly people stay in terrible relationships for whatever their reasoning is and it leads to things getting worse and worse everyday. Did she have a right to die for having an affiar? No! Should she have left before deciding to fall in love with another man? Absolutely! But in either case, these children should not be without a mother! He may have gotten her back for hurting him but he just changed the life of his children forever. RIP Rachel and I pray to God those kids find a nice safe home with someone who will love them as much as their mother did.
ms luvMarch 21, 2012 - 11:10 am
I to knew both Todd and Rachel. While Mr. White and Rachels relationship was not right, Todd and Rachel's marriage was pretty much sour from the very beginning. Mr. White may or may not have any affect on the trial. However, Todd may killed under the "if I can't have you no one can" pretense as well. Even with no other man in the picture. I'm not entirely sure I believe Todd killed her in self defense, as Rachel was barely 100 pounds soaking wet. And killing isn't necessary in self defense in this case. Todd could've easily gotten Rachael to stop if this truly was in self defense without killing her. No matter what, Rachel's life shouldn't have been taken. It's a sad, tragic and horrible situation that has left three children parentless and numerous friends and family damaged for life.
Ia girlMarch 28, 2012 - 11:55 pm
I grew up in the hometown of Todd Winkler. Rumor has it he may have also killed his first wife. There is more about this man than what we all know.
Another Ia girlMarch 29, 2012 - 7:02 pm
I also grew up going to school with Todd and his 2 younger brothers. Both other brothers were very intelligent but plagued by mental illness issues. I am very aware that mental illness has a strong familial tendency. I would hope someone does a thorough psych eval on this man. I grieve for these children, it is heartbreaking to say the least. These kids need to stay with their grandfather and not around other paternal family members with this questionable psych history.
anaJune 24, 2012 - 9:17 pm
Could it be that the wife was acting in self defense? From the tiny scratches, it looks like what a woman would do, while trying to fight off a man who is attacking to kill. It would be hard to be happy in such a household. Have you ever lived with someone who threatens to murder you? It can be nerve wracking--a double sided personality? No one believes you. There is no excuse for murder, none whatsoever.
katelynn whiteJune 27, 2012 - 4:31 pm
for those who are accusing my father of the monstrous act that TODD committed, open your eyes. Todd knew for two years about the relation between my father and ray. My father HAS come forward and will continue to do so. ray was my best friend and for those who are defending todd?? i would love to see your faces when the details are released about what he did to her. and for those who were making jokes about ray on her property the day she was killed and you know who are, you are cowards and you really need to grow up, I'm 17 and I'm more mature than you. @ airpark resident, my father gladly fought for your country. don't disrespect him behind a computer screen. thanks.
JustinJune 27, 2012 - 10:57 pm
You know all of u who are sitting here bad mouthing Mr.White really need to get a life ! He loved ray like no other! And for u who are disrespecting him or making smart remarks about him being in the USMC! I dont see u guys out there fighting for the freedom we have ! no u guys are sitting here talking s**t get a life ! Oh and Another thing because of what happened to ray her kids will grow up with out a mom let that sit in the back of ur head for a wail!
katelynn whiteJune 27, 2012 - 11:07 pm
Oh in "CP061" its james WHITE not WRIGHT. Its interesting how you have so much to say about my dad and you dont even know his last name? get your facts straight. theres enough hate going around, throwing rude remarks towards my father is not going to help put todd away. todd is a monster and treated rachel like property. not a wife. i saw her carrying Ariel with one hand and mowing the lawn with the other because todd refused to do what a REAL man should have been doing for his wife, when my father treated her like a queen until the day she died so if you have anything else to say make sure you know what your talking about. your playing with fire right now by talking like this.
JustinJune 27, 2012 - 11:17 pm
James White is a good man and ray was his world! so if u think he did this somethings wrong with u now rays three kids will grow up with out there mom because of a monster that took her from them!
Karli UlleseitJune 27, 2012 - 11:46 pm
Excuse me, all you ignorant people. For all of you who think Mr. White has anything to with any of this, you all are sadly mistaken. Not only are you disrespectful, you have no idea what you're talking about. Mr. White loved Rachael and those three children like they were his own & the fact that you all are badmouthing him BEHIND a computer screen just goes to show that you know nothing and that you are nothing but ignorant. I know Mr. White personally and he is, by far, the sweetest man I've met in my life. None of you have your facts straight and none of you have a say anyways, all you have is your opinions, which don't matter. If you think Todd is innocent you need to open your eyes and realize that he's a monster and because of him, those three kids will grow up with out a mommy, how do you think they feel? You have nothing to say, so just stop talking bad about an innocent man you know nothing about. Please & thank you. Oh & another thing, it makes me so sick to my stomach knowing that he claimed self defense & all you people are so naive and can't see what a monster Todd really is & that you think he's innocent. I can't wait for the day Todd is proven guilty and I see the sorry look on all your pathetic faces, I'll be right there to say I told you so.
John WhiteJune 28, 2012 - 10:37 am
You still don't get it. Answer the questions: 1) Would Mr. Wright have been dishonorably discharged for his adulterous acts if he were still on active duty. It's called the Code of Military Conduct and is law. Why did he throw this out the window? Why did he not say, you know, let's help get you out of this horrible relationship and then we can see where to take ours? Why did he not do this? Ok, it's basically fine to go around having sex with other peoples spouses!!! Really!!! 2) Sitting behind a computer; Sorry but I did address this on one the days that I saw James White (oh my said his name correctly---). He was laughed at at the court house. I will do it again and more publicly, in time, trust me. Methodical process can be more affected than a hasty forward move. Sorry to let you know I but I served my Country and still remain honorable to the Codes I upheld then. You should ask Mr. Wright why he could not maintain his integrity on the outside. Maybe some whiny case of PTSD? Maybe a feeling of inadequacy in losing your mom to another man. 3) Take care of the children!! When is he going to file for custody since he had so much love for the children? Where's his "guts and glory" ego from the USMC days? Step up to the plate Mr. Wright!!! Again, no one is defending Todd. He will get what Justice has for him and most likely not be able to do this again. Mr. White will not receive justice, he will do this again to someone else. He will commit adultery and breakup another family with his loins and not serve. I encourage him to find the integrity that he once held dear to him. This will probably not happen.
JustinJune 28, 2012 - 10:56 am
you know @ john white you can sit behind your computer screen and bad mouth James white all u want ! but before u do that u may wanna get ur facts straight! Oh and another thing you may wanna get names first and spelling before u go around talking S**t!
katelynn whiteJune 28, 2012 - 2:27 pm
I would love to see you try to publically humiliate my father in court with him standing right in front of you. You talk so much crap its pathedic. my father tried to get rachel to leave so many times, so did i. if you want to talk about my family like that do it to our faces, lets see how brave you are after that. oh and if chuck wall or mike starkey are reading this? come to court and start something instead of trying to get attention from everyone in the air park by making fun of a murdered woman who left 3 children behind. we took care of those kids as if they were our own and we still would be if we could. we took care of them better than todd ever could. leave my family alone please. weve been through enough already.
MissyJuly 20, 2012 - 2:02 pm
Todd was my daughter's husband. She was his first wife. My daughter and Todd divorced; no children. We thank our lucky stars for their split. Let me think ... wife one, divorced ... wife two, suspiciously killed in an automobile accident ... wife three ... DEAD. Look carefully and study this one before setting him free. Assume innocence but not to the point of stupidity. He knows. God knows. My daughter lives. I am so sorry for Rachel and her children and her father. He is one courageous man and the children are lucky to have him. Bless all the involved. I am praying for Todd - it's all I can do. Todd was always charismatic.
Rachel's FriendSeptember 06, 2012 - 4:45 pm
@Missy...did Todd abuse your daughter as well? Hopefully they convict him and he won't be able to victimize any more women.
Colorado GirlSeptember 10, 2012 - 12:51 pm
Missy- Glad your daughter was able to move on.How many women have their been with him moving around so much? Rachel's Friend. My heart goes out to you and her friends and family. Only those that have met Todd know that this is the tip of a complicated tale. You can find the article on Todd's second wife by searching his hometown paper for her obituary. How was this not investigated better.
