Jaclyn Jackie Leah Engman, 25, was shot and killed inside her Newark, Delaware, apartment on January 26, 2017. A mother of two studying for a bachelor’s degree at Wilmington University after earning an associate degree in elementary education, she was found about 6:30 a.m. in her bed with a fatal gunshot wound to the head. Family remembered her as bright, humorous and devoted to her children, with interests including singing, traveling, camping and the beach.

Investigators focused on her former boyfriend and the father of one child, Jerry Blankenship, after police say he went to New Castle County Police Headquarters the morning of the killing and told officers he had killed Engman. Authorities searched her apartment and a Newark residence connected to him, and arrested Blankenship on first-degree murder and firearm charges; he was unable to post cash-only bail. No other suspects were publicly identified.

Did anyone who knew Jackie or her routines in Newark have information about that January morning?
