Lauri Anne Winkel Deatherage, 48, was found dead inside her Robbinsdale, Minnesota home on June 18, 2021, after a welfare check. The Hennepin County Medical Examiner determined the cause of death was a gunshot wound to the head at her residence on Grimes Avenue North. She had married just days earlier.

Police focused on her ex-husband, Robert Dewayne McCloud. Investigators reported he had recently purchased a handgun and had been at her home the morning she died. Officers contacted him at a Brooklyn Center residence; after about a ten-hour standoff he was taken into custody. Prosecutors charged McCloud with intentional second-degree murder, and court documents described a pistol, ammunition, and a labeled key to Deatherage’s house recovered from his residence. Investigators also obtained a recording in which he admitted to killing his ex-wife and expressed anger about her remarriage. A grand jury later returned a first-degree premeditated murder indictment and a judge increased bail to $2 million.

Who knew Lauri, her routines, or movements around June 18, 2021, and might have information that wasn’t part of the public case?
