Donna Marie Dozier Klingbeil, 75, was shot in the head at her Wapiti-area home west of Cody, Wyoming, on the night of August 5, 2018 and died after an airlift to a Billings hospital in the early hours of August 6. Her husband, Dennis Karl Klingbeil, was found at the scene with a handgun and evidence of pills; he survived and was later arrested after medical treatment. Dennis told family he had shot Donna and then swallowed pills in an apparent suicide attempt, and he later insisted the shooting was an accidental discharge tied to that attempt.

Prosecutors said the killing was deliberate and stemmed from long-running disputes over money, property and divorce-related tensions. In August 2019 a Park County jury found Dennis guilty of first-degree murder, and the Wyoming Supreme Court later upheld the conviction.

Did anyone in the Wapiti or Cody area hear or see anything the night of August 5 that could shed light on what happened?
