Monica Lynn Van Laer, a 33-year-old Caucasian woman, was killed on November 2, 2014 while moving out of the apartment she had shared with her ex-boyfriend, Daniel Christopher Wyant, then 43. Prosecutors said the killing was motivated by their recent breakup and charged Wyant with murder.

At trial Wyant’s defense did not dispute that he shot Van Laer. Instead the defense pursued an insanity theory, arguing Wyant suffered a neurocognitive disorder tied to a 1997 brain injury and that the condition influenced his actions the day of the killing.

Anyone who knew Monica, her routines, or observed the area around the apartment in early November 2014 is asked to come forward with information that might shed light on what happened.
