Perry Scott Smith, 54, of Saint Joseph, Missouri, was found dead from gunshot wounds on June 24, 2016. Smith held bachelor’s degrees in Biology and Chemistry from Missouri Western State College. His death prompted a homicide investigation by the local police department.

Investigators focused quickly on a neighbor, 51-year-old Lonald Ueligger. Detectives say the fatal shooting occurred in the basement of Ueligger’s home on Dover Road. Ueligger was taken into custody the weekend after Smith’s body was discovered. In September 2016 he pleaded guilty to voluntary manslaughter; a judge sentenced him to 12 years in prison in November 2016.

Did anyone in Saint Joseph know Perry Smith or have information about his relationship with neighbors on Dover Road?
