Stacey Leah Mosier, 38, was found dead inside her Richmond, Indiana, home on South 19th Street on June 17, 2016. Officers entered the residence shortly before 8:00 a.m. after a welfare check and located Mosier in an upstairs bedroom with a single gunshot wound to the head. An expended bullet lay near her body; investigators noted there was no blood on the bed or bedding, a detail later cited as inconsistent with a claim that the shooting occurred while the couple fell onto the bed.

Attention quickly turned to Mosier’s boyfriend, Stephen A. Via Jr., who had been living at the residence. Witnesses and text messages showed the couple had a volatile relationship and that Via was upset she had stayed out all night. Deputies arrested Via Jr. and his father at a motel in Centerville on June 18, 2016; Via Sr. faced obstruction and weapons-related charges.

Prosecutors presented forensic and testimonial evidence that contradicted Via Jr.’s assertion the firearm discharged accidentally; they also said he altered the weapon. A jury convicted Via Jr. of murder in March 2017 and the trial court sentenced him to 65 years. The Court of Appeals of Indiana later affirmed the conviction and sentence.

Did anyone in the Richmond area know Stacey or have information about her relationship with Via that could shed light on what happened?
