Athena Nicholas was 46 when she died in Salem, Ohio, on July 17, 2016. The dispute escalated and Strosnyder shot Athena in the head; he then shot himself and survived.

Neighbors discovered the two the next morning in the backyard of their home. Salem police and detective Dave Talbert investigated and reportedly found a large number of weapons inside the residence. Strosnyder was charged with murder on July 22, 2016. Athena’s family, including her son, has spoken of profound grief.

If anyone knew Athena or was in the Salem area that night and has information that could help clarify what happened, please share what you know.
