On October 14, 2006, Shayné Lauree Bentler, 14, placed a 911 call from the family home in Bonaparte, Iowa, reporting that her older brother Shawn was going to do something. The call captured a gunshot and a voice screaming Shawn’s name before it went dead. A second 911 call from the mother’s cell phone was made at the same time but went unanswered.

When officers arrived they found Shayné, her parents Michael, 53, and Sandra, 47, and her two sisters, Sheena, 17, and Shelby, 15, dead of gunshot wounds. The family owned a lumber and grain elevator business. Shawn Bentler, 22, was arrested the same day in Quincy, Illinois, on an unrelated paraphernalia charge and later charged with five counts of first-degree murder. Prosecutors argued a financial motive tied to the parents’ $2.8 million estate. Forensic testimony linked Sandra Bentler’s blood to the socks Shawn wore at arrest.

Shawn Bentler was convicted of five counts of first-degree murder and received five consecutive life terms without parole. Does anyone have information about the family or the case that hasn’t been shared publicly?
