Joshua Jourdan, 35, was shot and killed on June 17, 2020, along Interstate 80 near Cozad, Nebraska, while traveling with his wife and their two young children. The family was moving from Scottsbluff when an argument prompted Joshua to pull their pickup to the side of the interstate. His wife, Kathleen Jourdan, retrieved a handgun from the center console and shot him twice in the chest. The children in the backseat were unharmed; Kathleen called 911 and stayed at the scene.

Nebraska State Patrol troopers found Joshua deceased in the driver’s seat, and Kathleen was arrested on suspicion of second-degree murder and booked into Dawson County Jail. The children were placed in protective custody. At trial Kathleen argued self-defense, saying she had been abused by Joshua; a Dawson County jury acquitted her of second-degree murder and a related weapons charge in March 2022.

Are there witnesses who were driving I-80 near Cozad that afternoon or anyone who recalls the family moving from Scottsbluff who can add details?
