Rupert Anderson, 97, was killed during a violent home invasion at his Des Moines east side residence on July 2, 2014. The couple ran a boarding kennel from the home and had been married 76 years; Rupert was known to friends and family as Andy. His wife Harriet was injured and was able to call 911 during the attack and give a description that led police to a suspect a short time later.

Authorities charged 19-year-old Ngor Makuey in connection with the case. Investigators say Rupert Anderson was beaten to death with a metal spatula. The attack devastated the neighborhood and left the Anderson family and community seeking answers.

If anyone knew Rupert or Harriet, or has information about the events at their east side home on July 2, 2014, please come forward.
