Melissa Kay Prettyman was 37 when she was found shot to death in the master bedroom of her Orchard Mesa home in Grand Junction, Colorado, on Sunday, January 14, 2018. She had suffered a fatal gunshot wound to the head.

Kalab reportedly told family members and an investigator that he had shot his wife. Police arrested 37-year-old Kalab Prettyman at the scene and charged him with second-degree murder.

The case proceeded to trial and a Mesa County jury returned convictions in March 2019 for second-degree murder, first-degree assault and child abuse. During the proceedings, jurors heard that Kalab had made statements to the effect that if he couldn’t have Melissa, no one else could.

If anyone knew Melissa, her family, or has information about the events leading up to that day, please share what you know.
