Connie Sue Fowler Collins, 52, was one of two people found dead in their Roseville, Ohio, home on March 8, 2007. Initially thought to have died in an accidental fire, autopsy results showed both Connie and her husband Ronald Collins had been shot. The State Fire Marshall later concluded the fire was set deliberately, and the incident was classified as a double homicide.

Reports say Ronnie Collins was shot in the head; Connie was shot in her right arm and the right side of her abdomen, injuries that suggest she may have tried to defend herself. The couple was found in their bed, despite Ronnie’s usual habit of sleeping on the couch because of a bad back. The blaze was reported by a neighbor just after midnight and was extinguished within about 30 minutes.

Investigators have explored a possible financial motive: Ronnie had received a workers’ compensation settlement about six months earlier, and detectives questioned whether cash, a safe, or forced access to bank accounts or online transfers might have been involved. No arrests have been announced and the case remains unsolved.

Did anyone in the community have contact with the Collinses around that time or notice anything unusual before March 8, 2007?
