Denise Stice was 48 when her body was found in the cold waters of Lake Overholser on the morning of November 27, 2007. Investigators determined she had been beaten and suffered a fatal gunshot wound to the head; her body was found nude with only her wedding ring still on. A gold-colored Chevrolet Monte Carlo belonging to Denise was located in an apartment complex parking lot a short distance from the lake.

A witness reported seeing a stocky white man about six feet tall, wearing a white button-down shirt, black pants and cowboy boots, get out of Denise’s vehicle. Law enforcement identified her husband, Gerald Don Stice, as a strong person of interest; he denied involvement. About a year later he was arrested on drug and concealing-stolen-property charges and later pleaded guilty to concealing stolen property and two counts of drug possession, resulting in a prison sentence.

No arrest has been announced in Denise’s homicide and the case remains unsolved. If anyone knew Denise, saw her Monte Carlo that day, or has information about the witness description, please come forward.
