John C. Fowler, 57, was found dead February 1, 2015, in a remote area near Heaven’s Hope Campground in Lowndes, Missouri. A St. Peters resident who had been staying at the campground, Fowler’s body was discovered face down on a gravel road by an overturned all-terrain vehicle in the Hiram area. Investigators determined he died of multiple shotgun wounds; the death was classified as a homicide rather than an accident.

Police say the killing was the result of a planned ambush tied to a personal conflict. Authorities identified Michael D. Burkman of Cape Girardeau as the shooter. Steven E. Jennewein reportedly lured Fowler to the location under the pretense of arranging a narcotics transaction, and Brandon Norman provided transportation, driving Burkman to the scene and serving as the getaway driver afterward.

All three men were arrested and charged in connection with Fowler’s death; court outcomes included prison terms for each defendant. Did anyone in the area know Fowler or see him at Heaven’s Hope Campground around late January 2015?
