In the early morning hours of March 22, 2024, 71-year-old Johnnie Tener was found dead in a reclining chair in his Nappanee, Indiana, home from a gunshot wound to the head. His death was connected to an incident in which his 70-year-old wife, Linda Tener, went to their son’s nearby home carrying a gun and told him she had shot his father; the son disarmed and restrained her until police arrived. Officers recovered a pink revolver at the scene and found Johnnie Tener deceased at the couple’s residence.

The son said he had dropped Linda off at home after a hospital stay for anxiety the day before and had not observed hostility between his parents. Linda Tener was taken into custody and charged with murder; an initial hearing has been held and a jury trial was scheduled for December 2, 2024.

Did anyone in Nappanee know the Teners or notice anything unusual in the days before March 22 that could help explain what happened?
