Michelle Renee Slaughter, 54, was found shot to death inside her Clarksville, Indiana, home on June 9, 2021. A homicide investigation determined she suffered multiple gunshot wounds. Michelle had worked for Humana for about two decades after a career in teaching and held a master’s degree; she also ran a small flower business.

Investigators identified her boyfriend, Thomas Smith of Louisville, Kentucky, as a suspect. After the shooting Smith fled toward Kentucky and was located and arrested in Bowling Green. Police reported they found blood on his hands and clothing and about $15,000 in cash in his truck.

The case later resolved with Smith pleading guilty to voluntary manslaughter in October 2022 and receiving a 20-year prison sentence plus five years probation upon release. Did anyone who knew Michelle or saw her in Clarksville around June 2021 notice anything that could help explain what happened?
