In the early hours of January 4, 2013, elderly couple Vivian Bouwman, 80, and her husband David were discovered shot multiple times at close range in their Kentwood, Michigan, home. Their Cadillac was found burning in a nearby apartment complex parking lot in Wyoming, Michigan, and investigators concluded the vehicle’s discovery and the home scene pointed to a robbery that escalated to a double homicide. Neighbors reported hearing popping noises the night of the killings, and witnesses later placed two men near the burning car.

Investigators identified and arrested Javonte Higgins; witness testimony included someone saying they dropped Higgins off near the Bouwmans’ home the night of the murders and friends saying Higgins sought help disposing of a car matching the Bouwmans’ vehicle. Prosecutors said the intruder confronted the couple, shot both in the head, then stole and set fire to their car. The community was left reeling after such a violent attack on longtime, well-known residents.

Did anyone in the Kentwood or Wyoming area see suspicious activity around the Bouwmans’ neighborhood that night?
