Matthew Winkler
Former Winkler residence in Selmer, Tennessee

Matthew Brian Winkler (November 21, 1974 – March 22, 2006) was the victim in a high-profile murder case in 2006.

In the 1990s, Winkler attended college at Freed-Hardeman University in Henderson, Tennessee. Winkler was the pulpit minister at the Fourth Street Church of Christ in Selmer, Tennessee, at the time of his death. Members of his congregation found him dead inside his home after he failed to appear at the church for a Wednesday-night service he was to lead on March 22, 2006. He had been shot in the back.

His wife, Mary Winkler, and the couple's three small daughters were reported missing along with the family's minivan. The state of Tennessee issued an Amber Alert, and Mary and the children were located the next day in Orange Beach, Alabama. Mary would confess to killing her husband and be charged with first-degree murder after extradition to Tennessee. She was released on bond, and her trial began on April 9, 2007. On April 19, 2007, she was found guilty of voluntary manslaughter and was subsequently sentenced to 210 days in prison.
