Ibeth Lopez, 26, was abducted from a Bastrop hair salon and fatally shot in Del Valle, Texas, on February 15, 2017. Deputies later saw them walking across a field behind a church; Werchan shot Lopez and then turned the gun on himself as deputies approached. Werchan was declared brain-dead and died the next day.

Lopez had reported Werchan’s stalking to police multiple times before the killing. Family and friends remember her as a hardworking single mother who did her best for her 8-year-old daughter. The case prompted scrutiny of how stalking and domestic violence complaints are handled and was investigated by the Travis County Sheriff’s Office and the Texas Rangers.

If anyone knew Ibeth, her routines, or had information about prior reports, please share details that could help understand what happened.
