I worked with Justin and that POS David Moffitt. Once we learned Justin had been killed a co-worker said right away it was David. Just a sad/****** up situation.

IMO, the family handled that presser VERY well. It takes a heck of a human being(s) to stand there hearing all these law enforcement people pat themselves on the back, and then to be the ones to tell the media and public to respect the family of the accused.
Ashley had a BF at the time. I am friend with a few people who were friends with her back then. I think even @brentblum knew her.
Iowa Woman Fatally Shot Her Boyfriend Four Times: Why Her Self-Defense Alibi Raised Eyebrows | Oxygen
An Iowa woman shot her live-in boyfriend multiple times and claimed she fired repeatedly in self-defense. Find out how investigators learned the truth.
Not labeled a "cold case", but has that vibe.
Its not like the accused was some high up at Rottlund, it appears she was a mid level employee at most and not based out of their headquarters in Minnesota. So its certainly possible there was a business/financial motive, but it being something personal is still far more likely in a case like this. I agree with you that a jealous wife isn't very likely. There's an 11 year age difference between Ashley and the accused and Ashley's boyfriend was between them in age so its certainly possible they were is some of the same social circles.
Here's my theory: Kristin Ramsey is a time traveler who assumed the alias of Wanda Fowler and committed the murder. The police couldn't solve the case until we were back in the present when the 53 year old Ramsey initiated her time travels.
That's crazy. I just remember watching the episode and the part where they showed the footage from the interrogation room and it wasn't until she finally figured out who could have shot him when she finally broke down emotionally. Crazy how the mind can play tricks on you, she was literally next to him in bed when he was shot which should have been traumatic enough and it was almost like her mind walled that off when she was being questioned.
I didn't think those substances were legal in Iowa.
I imagine they will figure that out once discovery happens in the case.
I remember learning/hearing about this via the news back in 2014. Didn't know the whole backstory until reading about it now. Holy cow.
As high profile as this murder, I’d be surprised if the evidence is not solid and it will be impossible for the defense to build a case.
Drake Diner murders are still probably more famous.
I’m also assuming an Assistant AG will try the case rather than the Dallas County Attorney. So the AG’s office would have signed off on it as well- they’re not going to sign off on it unless they can prove the case.
I distinctly remember them saying “there is no ongoing threat to the public” which led people to think the Kruse guy did it and then killed himself or the police “knew” who did it and were watching them. Turns out, that was likely BS and there was a murder roaming the metro so forgive me if I’m not going to pat them on the back just yet for solving something 15 years after.
