Susan Monroe was a 57-year-old psychologist from Lakeland, Florida, found dead in her home on December 22, 2014. Six days earlier she had called police about her 61-year-old husband, James Monroe Jr., reporting he was paranoid and believed federal agents were hiding in their attic; he was temporarily committed under the Florida Baker Act for involuntary mental health examination and treatment.

On the evening of December 22, James contacted his former in-laws and said someone in the house had committed suicide. When officers arrived he was armed and refused commands. A SWAT team was called; James pointed a rifle at officers and they fired, killing him. Police found Susan’s body inside the home; she had died before officers arrived. Authorities determined James was responsible for the events that led to the fatal police shooting and there were no other suspects or arrests.

What details about Susan’s last hours or the investigation might help clarify exactly what happened that night?
