In late summer 2014, 68-year-old Nena Metoyer of Dunedin, Florida, traveled to Fowler, Indiana, to be cared for by her daughter, Teresa Jarding, reportedly because Metoyer was suffering from leukemia. In September concerns arose after Jarding told her fiancé that her mother had died and that she was taking the remains to Florida — a claim that proved untrue.

On September 24, Jarding was found near death from a drug overdose and died the following day. While clearing Jarding’s home, investigators discovered Metoyer’s remains inside a garbage container. An autopsy determined Metoyer died of a gunshot wound to the head. The bullet matched the .22 caliber used in the killing of Jarding’s ex-husband, Milan Lekich, whose dismembered body had been found in a Chicago-area garage around the same time; a .22 caliber pistol was recovered near Jarding when she was discovered.

Investigators identified Teresa Jarding as the sole suspect in the deaths of Metoyer and Milan Lekich; with Jarding deceased no arrest was possible. Does anyone have information about Metoyer’s time in Fowler or contacts who saw her during that August visit?
