On December 31, 1993, in Humboldt, Nebraska, 24-year-old Lisa Marie Lambert was shot and killed in the farmhouse she rented. A single mother and a nurse’s aide, Lambert was an unintended victim in a violent episode that also cost the lives of Brandon Teena, 21, and Phillip Devine, 22. Brandon, a transgender man, had reported being raped by two men he considered friends, John Lotter and Marvin Nissen. Lisa Lambert was shot and killed after being present during those murders.

The investigation led to the arrests of John Lotter and Marvin Nissen; prosecutors pursued charges in the triple homicide. At this stage many questions remain about motive, the sequence of events inside the house, and how a small community dealt with the aftermath. Does anyone have memories of Humboldt in 1993 or information about Lisa Lambert’s life there that could shed light on her and the other victims?
