Charles Haeger, Former MLB Player Suspected of Killing Ex-Girlfriend, Found Dead

“He was calling here and asking to, you know, get back together and she’s like, ‘No, no, no, no, no, no,’” Ms. Long said.

She added that Mr. Haeger “shattered a lot of people today, and he knows that.”

Ms. Breed owned the Tipsy Coyote Bar and Grill in Scottsdale, according to The Arizona Republic. Friends and patrons shared condolences on the restaurant’s Facebook page this weekend.

A GoFundMe page set up by Ms. Breed’s family to help pay her funeral expenses described her as having a “big bright smile, heart of gold,” and as someone who “lit up any room, just by walking in it.”

Mr. Haeger, a native of Michigan, was drafted by the Chicago White Sox in 2001. He made his major league debut in 2006 and pitched 83 innings before his final M.L.B. appearance in 2010. He also played with the Seattle Mariners, Boston Red Sox and Los Angeles Dodgers organizations.

He was also in a small fraternity of committed knuckleballers among professional baseball pitchers. In 2013 when he was pitching in the Red Sox organization, he told The New York Times that he threw the knuckler about 85 percent of the time.
