On December 18, 2020, 57-year-old Lori Chevalier was found dead in her Peculiar, Missouri, home after officers responding to a welfare check entered her Windmill Estates residence and discovered gunshot wounds to her head and arm. The Peculiar Police Department called in the Kansas City Metro Squad to assist with the investigation.

Police identified a primary suspect quickly; on December 19, 2020 Lori’s 58-year-old husband, Gerald Lee Chevalier, was taken into custody and charged with second-degree murder and armed criminal action. He was held in the Cass County jail on $250,000 bond and declined to answer detectives’ questions without an attorney. A not guilty plea was entered on his behalf at his first court appearance on December 21, 2020 as the matter moved to the prosecutor’s office.

Are there neighbors or acquaintances from Windmill Estates who can add context about the Chevaliers or the night of December 18?
