Margaret E. Delcour, 36, of Broseley, Missouri, was one of two women shot to death inside a Qulin home in the early morning hours of December 4, 2022. Delcour and 48-year-old Wendy L. Rhodes were both found dead from multiple gunshot wounds when Butler County sheriff’s deputies arrived at a residence in the 300 block of New Hampshire Street shortly before 1 a.m. Court filings state both women were shot three times each, and early reports said both suffered gunshot wounds to the head.

Investigators identified Stephen T. Scott of O’Fallon as the shooter. Allegations say Scott stole a handgun from his grandmother, went to the home with his then-girlfriend Candace Gurley, and was seen arguing with Delcour and Rhodes immediately before the shooting. Two young children were inside the house during the killings; a seven-year-old reportedly witnessed the shootings and a four-year-old was also present. Scott fled but was arrested about 5 a.m. at a Dexter Walmart and later admitted to shooting the women after using methamphetamine, saying he believed his life was in danger.

Scott was arraigned December 5 on two counts of first-degree murder and multiple related charges. A jury later convicted Scott of both first-degree murder counts and several additional offenses. Who has information about Delcour, her time in Broseley, or the events in Qulin that night?
