Kari Lauren Firlik, 35, was found dead at her home in the Rising View military housing complex in Bellevue, Nebraska, on the evening of September 28, 2019. Officers discovered the bodies of Kari and her husband, Tech. Sgt. Zachary P. Firlik, in an upstairs bedroom of the residence near Offutt Air Force Base.

Kari was born March 14, 1984, in Wichita Falls, Texas. She had moved to Nebraska in March 2019 with her family after time stationed near Travis Air Force Base in California. She worked as an insurance coordinator at her father’s dental office, was pursuing a bachelor’s degree in cybersecurity, and was the mother of three children.

A search affidavit described a revolver on the bedroom floor with four spent shell casings and two unspent bullets; investigators quickly focused on a murder-suicide theory, and the case was later considered solved once the primary suspect was deceased. Few other public details have been released about what led to the deaths.

If anyone has information about Kari, her family, or the events in Bellevue that night, please share what is known.
