Roslyn Fox Dunlap, 45, of Lenoir, North Carolina, died from a single shotgun wound to the upper abdomen after being shot in her home on May 8, 2008 and succumbing to her injuries on May 10, 2008. On the morning of May 8 her husband, Barney Adrian Dunlap, told a Lenoir police officer he had just killed his wife and her boyfriend. Officers found two shotgun shells in his pocket. Roslyn told a responding corporal that her husband had shot her; her boyfriend, Gerald Lakey, was found dead in a back bedroom from a single shotgun wound to the chest and abdomen.

Barney Adrian Dunlap was arrested and charged with two counts of first-degree murder. He was later convicted at trial; an appeal arguing the court should have given a voluntary manslaughter instruction was denied and Dunlap was sentenced to life without parole. Roslyn worked as a fiber optic specialist for Corning Cable and also did fundraising work for Savannah State University and was mother to three children.

Did anyone in Lenoir know Roslyn or Gerald and have information about what happened that morning?
