Angie Schroer was 28 when she was found dead in her Independence, Missouri, home on June 21, 2017, two days after her birthday. She was discovered seated on her couch with a single gunshot wound to her forehead. The Jackson County Medical Examiner’s Office quickly ruled the death a suicide.

Family members dispute that conclusion and describe Angie as having been beaten, citing a broken nose and uprooted teeth. A man identified as Donald Greer was in the home that day; he said he had been asleep and heard nothing. A neighbor reported hearing the gunshot from next door. Greer, a convicted felon with a prior conviction for criminally negligent homicide, was not arrested. The family hired a private forensic examiner who noted that no full autopsy had been performed and raised questions about blood spatter, the angle of the gunshot, and the placement of the gun on her chest.

The Independence Police Department has maintained the death was a suicide and the case is closed. No arrests have been made. Did anyone in the Independence area know Angie, Greer, or have information about that house or the events of June 21, 2017?
