LaNell Crystal Nell Barsock, 29, a licensed vocational nurse from Palmdale, California, was found dead in her garage on June 16, 2010. Her body was discovered lying in a pool of blood with a plastic bag over her head. Investigators initially thought she had been bludgeoned, but an autopsy showed death from a single close-range gunshot wound.

There was no sign of forced entry and the scene showed an apparent attempt to clean up, which led investigators to conclude Barsock likely knew her attacker. Early attention fell on her boyfriend, Louis Bonheur, after a friend, La’Rene Austin, reported overhearing an argument between Barsock and Bonheur shortly before the killing and said Bonheur was alone with the body when she first saw it. Later investigative developments raised questions about Austin’s statements and behavior; she was arrested and charged in connection with the killing and was reported to have fled to Belize before being returned to face charges.

Did anyone in Palmdale know LaNell, her relationships, or see anything unusual in mid-June 2010?
