On October 16, 2015, 32-year-old Fawn Christine Gianes was found dead of a gunshot wound inside her Colorado Springs home. Police responded to a 911 call and discovered Fawn deceased; the incident was described as the culmination of a domestic dispute. Children who lived in the home were present and witnessed parts of the altercation.

The primary suspect was Fawn’s 31-year-old husband, Nikolas Gianes, a former El Paso County Sheriff’s deputy who had served four years with the department. Nikolas called 911, was at the scene when officers arrived, and was taken into custody. Prosecutors charged him with murder and argued at trial that he shot Fawn during the argument. The defense said Fawn had been the aggressor and that the firearm discharged accidentally while Nikolas tried to secure it.

The jury returned a verdict of not guilty on all counts. Did anyone in the community know the Gianes family or see them in the days before October 16, 2015?
