Angelina Putz, 43, was found dead in her Newton, Iowa, home on the morning of Saturday, October 9, 2010. The death was caused by gun violence. Born near Des Moines and a 1985 graduate of Newton Senior High School, she worked for years at Taco John’s and more recently at Starbucks. Known to friends and family as Angie, she helped organize benefits and fundraisers, including for Relay for Life, and was remembered for bringing a smile to those around her. She is survived by her parents, two brothers, and other family and friends, and had a pet cat named Noah.

An investigation was opened after her death; however, no public information about any suspect, arrest, or trial has been disclosed and the case has not been reported as solved. Does anyone in the Newton area have information about Angelina’s life or her death that could help bring answers?
