On the night of December 13, 2018, 40-year-old Melissa Peskey was driving with her two children, ages 5 and 11, on Interstate 70 near Boonville, Missouri, about 450 miles from their Hartford, South Dakota, home. Their vehicle veered into the median and crashed at roughly 10:30 PM. The children were not physically injured, but Melissa was found dead in the driver’s seat. An autopsy revealed she had suffered a fatal gunshot wound fired from outside the vehicle, and authorities reclassified the incident as a homicide.

The Missouri State Highway Patrol opened an extensive investigation and followed hundreds of leads but has not publicly identified a suspect. Public attention has focused on Melissa’s husband, Ryan Peskey; reports say Melissa had asked for a divorce shortly before his deployment with the South Dakota National Guard and had told a friend she was terrified of his return. Ryan Peskey has said law enforcement told him he was a person of interest; he has denied involvement and been advised not to comment. A dispute over life insurance policies also surfaced during the inquiry. Despite a reward and ongoing investigative work, no arrests have been announced.

Does anyone have information about the route the family took that night or saw anything on I-70 near Boonville around 10:30 PM on December 13, 2018?
