TereseAnn Marie Lynch, 30, was abducted and killed on November 11, 2009, in Des Moines. According to reports, her estranged husband, Randall Todd Moore, forced her at gunpoint from a Target parking lot, took her to his apartment, sexually assaulted her and shot her dead during a hostage standoff with police. A responding officer, Todd Roland, was shot and wounded during the incident.

TereseAnn had served three tours overseas with the Iowa Air National Guard and had obtained a protective order against Moore about a month before her death; friends and family said she had been living in fear of him. Moore surrendered after the standoff and was charged with first-degree murder, first-degree kidnapping, first-degree sexual abuse and the attempted murder of the officer.

A jury later found Moore guilty on all counts and imposed consecutive life terms without parole for the murder, kidnapping and sexual abuse, plus an additional 25 years for the attempted murder of the officer. The judge described Moore’s conduct in strong terms at sentencing. Did anyone who knew TereseAnn notice changes in her situation in the months before November 2009?
