As Lambert frantically relayed the situation to the Lucas County EMS dispatcher, the gravity of the scene became apparent. His wife, Catherine Lambert, lay unconscious in the garage, blood pooling around her head. But as the call unfolded, Lambert's distress took on a chilling new dimension.
Contrary to his initial account, Lambert later confessed to authorities that the scene was not one of happenstance. In a shocking revelation, he admitted to attempting to kill his wife during an altercation in the garage. His methods were gruesome: striking her with a hammer, attempting to suffocate her, and then concealing the evidence before contacting emergency services.
Despite his efforts, Catherine succumbed to her injuries, leaving behind a community reeling from the horror of her untimely death. Lambert's deceitful 9-1-1 call belied the true extent of his actions, exposing a marriage marred by violence and betrayal.
As the case unfolded, details emerged of marital strife and prior incidents of domestic violence. Witnesses in the neighborhood reported hearing screams and arguments, painting a picture of a tumultuous relationship plagued by conflict.

In August 2016, a Wood County jury indicted Daniel Lambert on charges of tampering with evidence and aggravated murder. Though spared the death penalty, Lambert received a sentence of 20 years to life in prison without parole, a measure of justice for Catherine and her grieving loved ones.
In her obituary, Catherine Lambert is remembered not for the tragedy that befell her, but for the joy and kindness she brought to others. A beloved member of her community, she leaves behind a legacy of compassion and generosity, forever cherished by those whose lives she touched.
As Catherine's friend D. Brown aptly expressed, the perpetrator of such heinous acts deserves justice, a sentiment echoed by all who mourn the loss of a woman whose light was extinguished far too soon.
