Charlotte Sue Freiny, 62, was shot to death inside her Bedford Township home on January 18, 2022. Neighbors and family remembered her as a devoted mother and grandmother who enjoyed gardening and animals and had worked at Tenneco Manufacturing for a decade after attending Olivet High School and Bay Mills Community College.

Authorities say the killing followed an argument with Freiny’s long-term boyfriend, 58-year-old Gary Vogt, about his back surgeries. Investigators report Vogt left the argument, retrieved a handgun, returned and shot Freiny multiple times; he then called 911 and told the dispatcher he had just killed her. Officers found Freiny’s body and the firearm at the North Gardner Avenue residence, and Vogt was taken into custody and charged with open murder and a felony firearm offense. He told investigators he had been drinking prior to the argument and was denied bond at arraignment.

Does anyone who knew Charlotte or lived in Bedford Township around January 2022 have information that could shed light on the events leading up to that night?
