Jacquelyn Harvey, a 66-year-old woman, was fatally shot in her Wichita, Kansas home on September 16, 2015. She was found by her son when he arrived to drop off his child for school; her purse and her Jeep Cherokee were missing from the residence. Authorities say she was shot during a struggle after two people broke into the wrong house on the block while attempting to collect a debt at another address.

Police identified two suspects, Jacob Strouse, 21, and Brittany McDay, 22, who fled the scene in Harvey’s vehicle and later used her debit card to buy more than $1,000 of merchandise at a Walmart. Both were arrested within weeks and charged with first-degree murder and multiple related counts. Strouse was identified as the shooter.

Both defendants later pleaded guilty to lesser charges. Strouse pleaded guilty to second-degree murder and other offenses; McDay pleaded guilty to second-degree murder, aggravated burglary, and attempted criminal use of a financial card. Sentences were imposed and prosecutors described the killing as a senseless act. Did anyone in Wichita have contact with Jacquelyn or recognize her Jeep Cherokee before the day she was found?
