Vanessa Kay Pruitt was 18 and four months pregnant when she was shot to death in the early morning of December 15, 2006, in Lansing, Michigan. She had been trying to distance herself from her boyfriend, Jeffrey Scott Husband, and had asked her sister to stay with her for protection. Husband gained entry to the Delhi Township apartment and opened fire; Vanessa was struck by multiple bullets, two of which fatally hit her head. Her sister was wounded in the arm while attempting to shield her.

Investigators identified Jeffrey Scott Husband as the primary suspect. A local pastor later testified that Husband had admitted to the shooting, and he was arrested and charged with Vanessa’s murder. A preliminary hearing disclosed evidence about the relationship and whether Husband had been staying at the apartment, resulting in dismissal of a first-degree home invasion charge while the murder charge was held for trial.

Did anyone know Vanessa, her sister, or where she spent time who can share information about that night?
