John Jordon, 58, was found dead just inside the front door of his Granby, Missouri, home on March 30, 2015, the victim of a fatal gunshot wound to the chest. The killing followed a prolonged, troubled episode involving a woman identified as Connie Sanders-Ford, with whom Jordon had previously had an extramarital relationship. After Jordon tried to end the affair, Sanders-Ford reportedly began a campaign of harassment and stalking against him and his family.

Family testimony described an incident about a month before the shooting in which Sanders-Ford forced her way into the Jordon home and revealed the affair to his wife. John Jordon and his son subsequently sought orders of protection. Despite those filings, Sanders-Ford went to Jordon’s house on the afternoon of the killing and shot him. She fled, later telling a friend in Neosho what she had done; that friend called 911, and Sanders-Ford was arrested.

Sanders-Ford, 65 at arrest, was charged with first-degree murder and armed criminal action. Prosecutors say she rejected a plea for a lesser murder charge and the case went to trial; the jury convicted her on both counts and a judge imposed life without parole plus three years. Does anyone have additional details about the weeks before March 30, 2015, or about the family’s efforts to get protection?
