Marlene Magee was 22 when she was killed on February 15, 2004. A resident of the Rincon Indian Reservation, she was a homemaker and mother. Family and witnesses described a relationship with her partner, Andree Francis Calac, that was marked by repeated violence and heavy substance use.

On the night of her death Marlene was at her mother’s home; Andree arrived after a day of drinking and using methamphetamine and marijuana. Marlene left with him and went to his trailer, where she was shot in the face with a shotgun and died at the scene. Her blood tested positive for methamphetamine, indicating recent use.

Witnesses told investigators about prior assaults and threats by Andree, including physical beatings and threats involving a shotgun. The shooting ended a pattern of escalating violence in the relationship.

Did anyone in the Rincon community know Marlene, her family, or details about that night that could add context?
