Misty Lamoreaux was 19 when she was found dead in the bathroom of her Cedar City, Utah apartment on August 23, 2009. The scene included a lit cigarette and a lighter in her hand, but an autopsy showed she had sustained five gunshot wounds to the head, any one of which would have been fatal.

Police arrested her husband, 24-year-old Tristan Jared Lamoreaux, after a brief foot chase near the apartment complex. He was charged with first-degree murder, possession of a firearm by a restricted person, and failure to stop for an officer. Tristan initially told investigators that Misty had tried to kill herself with a loaded gun and that it fired during a struggle; a neighbor reported hearing screams and multiple gunshots, one of which penetrated the shared wall and led to a 911 call. Prosecutors said no clear motive was provided.

On January 26, 2011, Tristan Lamoreaux pleaded guilty to first-degree murder in a plea deal that dismissed the other charges and was sentenced to 15 years to life. Did anyone who knew Misty or lived in that building notice anything unusual around the time of her death?
