On the morning of August 25, 2024, emergency crews responded to a 911 call from a home on the 300 block of 19th Street in Sioux City after Edmund Pendleton, 38, told dispatch that his girlfriend had shot herself. Paramedics found 46-year-old Danielle Dolan, also known as Danielle Dany Boy or Danielle L.

Dolan, in a bedroom with a gun in her hand and a gunshot wound to the head; she was transported to a hospital and later died.Charges followed after an autopsy determined the fatal wound entered the back of Dolan’s head, a finding that contradicted Pendleton’s account. Sioux City police arrested Pendleton and charged him with first-degree murder; he is being held at the Woodbury County Jail.The couple had been dating for about two months.

Does anyone have information about Danielle’s last days or the neighborhood that could help explain what happened?
