Vickie Hanson, 65, of Wichita Falls, Texas, died on October 14, 2021. Her death was initially reported by her ex-husband, Bruce Hanson, as a possible suicide. Family members, including daughter Christie Wise, disputed that account and referenced a history of abuse in Vickie’s relationship with Bruce.

Investigators found inconsistencies in Bruce Hanson’s story, detected gunshot residue on his hands, and noted that Vickie did not have powder burns consistent with a self-inflicted gunshot wound. Bruce Hanson was arrested January 25, 2022, held on bond, and later indicted for first-degree murder on April 13, 2022. Vickie’s children, Christie Wise and Jay Lodes, say they remain frustrated and are seeking closure and justice.

Does anyone in Wichita Falls have information about Vickie, her family, or events around October 14, 2021, that could help move this case forward?
