On the morning of November 21, 1997, 28-year-old Jodie L. Bordeaux was killed at her Powhattan, Kansas farmhouse on the Kickapoo Indian Reservation. Jodie and her husband, Shawn Bordeaux, were in the living room when popping noises were heard; a spray of bullets struck the house. Shawn found Jodie on the bedroom floor with a fatal gunshot wound to the head. Jodie was seven months pregnant with a daughter, Jordan Shay, who also did not survive.

Investigators recovered numerous shell casings outside the home and concluded the shots came from a high-powered, semi-automatic rifle. Police noted Jodie had recently been involved in a workplace dispute at the Golden Eagle Casino where she had been a manager; that conflict reportedly led to an employee’s termination and possibly to Jodie’s dismissal, though she may have been rehired. The couple had received anonymous, unsettling phone calls in the weeks before the attack. No weapon was recovered and no arrests have been announced; the case later colded despite media attention and a reward.

Did anyone in the community have contact with Jodie at the casino or receive similar anonymous calls in the weeks before November 21, 1997?
