What gets me is they dont know if she shot herself or was shot? The paper said her boyfriend & daughter was there , Think they might know if she shot herself , think they might have told the cops she shot herself , or think maybe boyfriend and daughter is in on it ? With the reporting times daily does , we will never know , until its old news . Wink
When I first read the name I thought it was a nurse I know, but this lady would be over 30, I would have guessed 40, but it's hard to tell. I thought her daughter was a young teenager.

I called my DON and it was the Melissa that I knew. She had not worked for our company in about two years, but I used to see her once a month when I did Medicaid inspections. She was a very upbeat and friendly person, and I'm saddened to hear of this.
Update:

Forensic officials get shooting death

Law enforcement officials are waiting on preliminary results from the Alabama Department of Forensic Sciences to help them learn more about what happened to a 39-year-old woman whose body was found inside her home Monday night.

Lauderdale County Sheriff Ronnie Willis said deputies were called to a residence in the 2800 block of Harrison Road, off Brush Creek Road between 10:30-11 p.m.

Authorities said the body of Melissa Kenney Garrett was found lying on the couch in the living room with a gunshot wound to her head.

Investigators said the woman's boyfriend and daughter were at the residence.

Willis said the body was sent to forensics as a part of the death investigation.

"At this point, we don't know if it was intentional, accidental or someone else was involved," Willis said. "We're hoping forensics will help us answer those questions, so we can determine what direction to go with this case.

"So, until we hear something from forensics, we're just waiting."

Willis said no arrests have been made.

I don't think Melissa's mother was living; she frequently mentioned her father. Also, I don't think her daughter's father was in the picture. I can't imagine how this girl must feel right now. If it was foul play, this is one case on which Chris Connolly should not offer a plea deal.
I have called the sheriff's office twice and just get a recording.

Since I have not seen where anyone has been arrested, it may be that there was no foul play.

I don't think Melissa had worked much since she left our company about two years ago. It is so sad for her dad and her daughter.

Please keep them in your prayers. If I hear anything, I will post it here.
