Jason Klonowski, a 57-year-old retiree in Harvest, Alabama, was found dead in a barn on his property off Mussleman Lane on November 3, 2013. He was discovered slumped in a chair with three small-caliber gunshot wounds to the back of the head; a baseball cap initially concealed the wounds. He is believed to have been killed on October 30, 2013, and his housekeeper made the discovery days later.

The initial response to the scene was troubled: for nearly two days authorities treated the death as natural causes and did not secure the property, allowing friends and neighbors to move about and potentially compromise evidence. A deputy who knew both the victim and the housekeeper handled a handgun found at the scene, further complicating the investigation.

Klonowski had publicly criticized the Madison County Sheriff’s Office in the year before his death after deputies beat his friend and employee Robert Bryant following a 2012 traffic stop; Klonowski displayed signs protesting police brutality and supported Bryant’s legal fight. The FBI and Alabama Bureau of Investigation have been involved, a private investigator is working the case, and a reward has been offered, but no arrests have been made and no public suspects identified.

Did anyone in Harvest see or hear anything around October 30, 2013 that might help explain who targeted Jason Klonowski?
