Meridee Kay Reynolds was 40 when she was fatally shot in Vancouver, Washington, on September 9, 2000. She had a mobility impairment and a sleep disorder and was killed by a friend and caregiver, Melanie McDonald.

McDonald told investigators she acted to end Meridee’s suffering, saying she wanted to end the pain. Investigators arrested McDonald, and she later pleaded guilty to murder. The court sentenced her to 8 to 30 years in prison for the killing.

Does anyone have memories of Meridee or information about her life and care in Vancouver that could add context to what happened?
