Shirlene Chapman was killed by a gunshot on September 16, 2017, at her home in Big Chimney in Kanawha County, West Virginia. Her husband, Randall Chapman, initially told authorities she had committed suicide, but the medical examiner found she had been shot in the back, contradicting that account.

Randall Chapman was charged in connection with her death. He was initially charged with first-degree murder and later pleaded guilty to second-degree murder; that plea was accepted by the court on October 11, 2018. Sentencing was scheduled for December 2018.

The medical examiner’s findings played a key role in changing the case’s direction. Does anyone have information about Shirlene, the household, or the case that could add context to what happened that night?
