In March 2016 a domestic argument in Frankfort, Indiana, ended with 50-year-old Lisa Smith shot to death in her home. Her body was found on a Saturday, and the investigation quickly centered on her husband, 56-year-old Keith A. Smith, a former deputy town marshal for nearby Colfax.

Keith Smith was taken into custody the same day and preliminarily charged with murder; he told investigators he and his wife had been arguing and that he retrieved his gun to demonstrate a suicide pact, saying he intended to shoot himself but instead shot his wife. Prosecutors pursued a murder case, contending jealousy over Lisa Smith’s relationship with another man was the motive and that Smith used his police weapon in the attack. In September of the following year a jury convicted him of murder.

At sentencing Keith Smith pleaded for Lisa’s family to believe he had not meant to kill her and cried in court; the judge imposed a 50-year prison term. Does anyone have additional details about Lisa’s life or the days leading up to March 2016 that could help clarify what happened?
