Angela Guinn, 41, was found dead in her bed at her home on Essie Mae Lane in Rockingham, North Carolina, on October 7, 2007. A .22-caliber rifle was discovered beside her, both under the covers. Her death was initially ruled a suicide and the case was closed.

Years later the investigation was reopened after new leads. Angela’s husband, Jerry Dean Guinn, was arrested and ultimately pleaded guilty to second-degree murder in 2017, admitting he shot Angela; he received a minimum 11-year sentence. Court testimony noted Angela had a history of cocaine use and had used shortly before her death, and defense claims included an allegation that Jerry shot her after seeing her with two men. Jerry also faced a 2016 charge of intimidating a witness.

Angela was the owner of Mom’s Kitchen. Does anyone have memories of Angela, her business, or information about her last days that could shed light on what happened?
