Lori Ann Steinmetz-Brennan, 55, was shot to death on October 2, 2022, in the yard of her Little Suamico, Wisconsin, home on Melissa Boulevard. Her husband, Paul Brennan, was also found shot and killed at the scene. The couple had been married two months after 25 years together; family remembered Lori as kind and generous, active in charitable drives such as Coats for Kids and Toys for Tots.

Investigators identified Lori’s son, 27-year-old David Steinmetz, as a suspect; he was arrested on a probation hold soon after the bodies were discovered. The criminal complaint reported David had been using methamphetamine and said he had been awake for five days and was hearing voices telling him he needed to take a life to save his own or his family’s. David was charged with two counts of first-degree intentional homicide, later pleaded no contest, and received back-to-back life sentences without parole and an order to pay restitution.

This remains a case of a family torn apart by violence, drug use, and reported mental-health symptoms. Does anyone have information about Lori, Paul, or the family that could shed light on what led up to October 2, 2022?
