Kendra Keppler, 27, was found dead in her home on Whittier Street in south Abilene on May 18, 2016, with a gunshot wound to the head. Born August 10, 1988, in Phoenix, Arizona, she grew up in Abilene, graduated from Abilene public schools in 2005, worked at local restaurants and was a mother of six who was described as kind and helpful in her community.

Investigators charged 36-year-old Charles Newman with her murder after authorities say he used Keppler’s identification to withdraw $200 from her bank account and was found in possession of her vehicle. Newman admitted being in Keppler’s house the day she died and seeing her body but did not report it. His wife, Rachell Newman, initially told police her husband had killed Keppler and later recanted that statement. Newman was indicted on murder and tampering with evidence charges, held on a $500,000 bond and later convicted and sentenced to life in prison.

Does anyone who knew Kendra or who lived in south Abilene at the time have information about her final days or the people who had access to her home?
