Lawrence Edward Owens, known as Eddie, was 44 when he was shot and killed inside his Decatur, Alabama, home on June 26, 2016. One of the couple’s young sons witnessed the shooting, and another child placed the 911 call that brought authorities to the scene. The primary suspect was the victim’s wife, Michelle Lee Owens, who was arrested and charged in the killing.

Investigators and courtroom testimony focused on Michelle Owens’ mental state. The 911 call included a statement that she had been diagnosed with a disease that causes people to have unreal thoughts, and her defense pointed to a recent diagnosis at a Tennessee hospital. Prosecutors argued the killing was planned, noting she had purchased the revolver and ammunition separately and had arranged for the older teenage son to be away when the shooting occurred.

In October a jury convicted Michelle Owens of murder, and in January she received a 40-year prison sentence. Did anyone in the Decatur community know the Owens family or have information about the days leading up to June 26, 2016?
