Michael Andersen, 43, was one of two people found shot to death before dawn on July 22, 2010, on a grassy area just outside Omaha’s Henry Doorly Zoo near 10th Street and Bert Murphy Avenue. Security personnel first thought two people were sleeping but discovered blood and notified police around 4:00 a.m. Officers found Andersen and 23-year-old Paige Miller with multiple gunshot wounds; both were declared dead at the scene about 30 yards from the zoo’s main entrance.

Investigators reported no signs of a struggle at the scene and concluded both victims were killed by gunfire. Detectives said the scene suggested the killer might have been someone the pair knew and reconstructed each victim’s movements in the hours before the shootings. Andersen was identified in contemporaneous reporting and his obituary as a freelance part-time mechanic, listed as Michael R. Andersen, age 43. The double homicide remains unsolved and the Omaha Police Department’s Cold Case Unit has highlighted the case and offered a reward for information.

Did anyone in the Omaha area know Michael Andersen or have information about where he and Paige Miller were the night before they were found?
