AnnaElise MaryEtta Edgeton, 18, was found late on the morning of January 13, 2018, inside her apartment at the Shamrock Apartments, 316 Jacolyn Drive SW in Cedar Rapids. Police and medics had been called for a welfare check; an autopsy by the Iowa State Medical Examiner determined she died of a gunshot wound. Family and friends memorialized her in local obituaries and tributes soon after.

Investigators focused on a break-in at the apartment. On April 19, 2018, 19-year-old Kyler Jacob Junkins of Marion was arrested and charged with first-degree murder and first-degree burglary, accused of breaking into Edgeton’s home and shooting her. Within a week three more people were arrested in connection with the case: 18-year-old Allen Miller, a 16-year-old girl, and a 17-year-old boy, each accused of conspiracy to commit a forcible felony tied to burglary and accessory after the fact; the juveniles’ names were withheld.

Earlier that spring Edgeton’s mother had publicly pleaded for help finding her daughter’s killer and the family was described as still reeling; Edgeton had only recently married. Does anyone have information about AnnaElise’s last movements or about activity near the Shamrock Apartments that January?
