Myesha A. Haynes House was 28 when her body was pulled from Lake Michigan in Milwaukee on May 13, 2009. She had suffered four gunshot wounds to the chest. In the weeks before her death she had moved in with friends and told them she wanted a divorce, saying her marriage had been marked by violence and threats.

Court filings show she sought a restraining order about a year before the killing that was not granted, and a 2004 battery case against her husband had been dismissed on his motion. Investigators focused on her husband, Melvin R. House, then 44; he was charged with first-degree intentional homicide and a jury trial was scheduled for December 6, 2010. The record sketches attempts to find protection that did not prevent this outcome.

Does anyone have information about Myesha’s last days, her move to friends’ homes, or contacts who might help clarify what happened?
