Verna ONeil of Lake Worth, Florida, died on July 23, 1987, from a gunshot wound to the head. At the time her husband, James ONeil, told the Palm Beach County Sheriff’s Office that Verna had threatened suicide during an argument about her drinking and a burnt dinner, grabbed a gun and it accidentally discharged while he tried to take it away. The medical examiner originally listed the manner of death as undetermined because of conflicting accounts and lack of clear evidence.

Sharon reported that admission to authorities in February 2017. Detectives interviewed James ONeil, who acknowledged lying in his initial statement but continued to describe the shooting as accidental; the medical examiner changed the manner of death to homicide and James ONeil was arrested in August 2017 and charged with manslaughter with a firearm.

Did anyone who knew Verna or the family notice unresolved questions from that night that might shed more light on what happened?
