Jamie Michelle Gage, 32, of Minneapolis, was shot and killed on September 13, 2008, at Big Sandy Lake in Aitkin County, Minnesota. The killing followed the end of her relationship with boyfriend John Brightman; after the breakup Brightman reportedly became despondent and suspected Jamie of seeing someone else. That day Jamie had offered to rent a cabin to Brightman, and he shot her during the encounter.

Investigators arrested John Brightman, then in his mid-30s, without incident and charged him with murder. Records note he had no prior criminal history but had shown signs of emotional instability and controlling behavior in the relationship. Jamie’s family held a memorial service on September 19, 2008; she is survived by her father, Gerald, and her brother, Jake.

Did anyone who knew Jamie or the couple spend time at Big Sandy Lake around that weekend and have observations to share?
