An updates on this case? Was it staged possibly? I hope it is still an open investigation.

Lisa Simmons, 38, of East Peoria, Illinois, died on September 3, 2018. Born July 31, 1980, in Peoria, she was the daughter of Dennis and Christine Stoneburner and the mother of Ronnie Simmons Jr. She worked at Heights Finance in Peoria Heights and later as a manager at Big Al’s in Peoria and was remembered for her love of writing, animals, and family.

Her body was found in the home of an East Peoria police officer with whom she had a previous relationship. The officer’s gun was reportedly used in the incident, and the Illinois State Police took over the investigation while the Tazewell County Coroner did not immediately confirm whether her death was a suicide. The officer was placed on leave during the ongoing probe; no arrests or charges were reported at that time.

There are unanswered questions about the nature of her relationship with the officer and the events that led to her death. If anyone knew Lisa or has information about her last days or that relationship, please share what could help the investigation.
