Tarah D. McIntyre, 27, was found fatally shot in the Warsaw, Missouri, residence she shared with her boyfriend after a Benton County dispatch call in the early morning hours of November 23, 2021. Deputies attempted life-saving measures but could not revive her. Her 25-year-old boyfriend, Jason Lewis Kroenke, was taken into custody and initially told investigators McIntyre had killed herself during an argument while they were using methamphetamine and the gun discharged as he turned away.

Detectives found evidence that contradicted Kroenke’s account, including a fatal wound that appeared to have been fired through a pillow — a detail omitted from his statement — and other inconsistencies at the scene. Kroenke was charged with first-degree murder and armed criminal action and pleaded not guilty at arraignment; he was held without bond. What else can readers with information about Tarah, her circle, or that night share with investigators?
