Kathleen G. Wzientek, 68, of Virginia, Illinois, was one of two people killed in a shooting at her home on January 10, 2021. Born September 1, 1952, in Jacksonville, Illinois, she was the daughter of David C. Sinclair and Lois Ann Nottingham Alexander and is survived by her husband Tony L. Wzientek, her son Dave Miller, and grandchildren.
That day also left Brenda G. Crum, 64, dead and injured David Miller, Kathleen’s son. Authorities arrested 72-year-old Robert D. Harris later the same day and charged him with multiple counts including murder and attempted murder. Court testimony describes Harris shooting Kathleen three times in the back of the head after first attempting to shoot her son; the shooting followed the end of an on-again, off-again relationship between Kathleen and Harris the previous day.
The community in Virginia, Illinois, was deeply affected by the killings. If anyone knew Kathleen, Brenda, or has information relevant to the case, please come forward to assist the investigation.
