Connie Koontz, a 56-year-old White woman, was found dead in her Gardnerville, Nevada, home on January 10, 2019, the victim of a gunshot wound to the head. Her death occurred just days before her birthday and was the first in a series of violent home invasions that soon alarmed residents of Douglas and Washoe Counties.

Investigators linked Koontz’s killing to subsequent murders of 74-year-old Sophia Renken and an elderly couple, Gerald and Sharon David, in South Reno. A stolen Apple Watch taken from Koontz provided an electronic lead that pointed to a prime suspect. That suspect told authorities the motive for the killings was robbery to obtain money for methamphetamine and had previously worked as a landscaper at the victims’ homes, giving him knowledge of the properties.

Does anyone have information about Connie’s movements in early January 2019 or about unfamiliar visitors to her neighborhood around that time?
