Woman's death baffles Hutchinson police (Wichita Eagle)
Hutchinson is a town of about 42,000 people, an hour NW of Wichita.
Her husband is said to have been working out of town at the time of the incident.When the doorbell rang at the Hutchinson home the evening of June 14, the neighbor had no idea what he was about to encounter at a home nearby a 27-year-old wife and mother with two fatal gunshot wounds.
Jennifer Heckel was loved. She had an accounting degree from Wichita State University, worked as group leader in human resources at Kroger corporate offices in Hutchinson and lived in a good neighborhood. The mystery is why and how she ended up gunned down by someone while her 5-year-old son was home with her.
(more at kansas.com link above)She was lying on her right side, her head under a table.
He reached down to try to feel a pulse, and Heckel's body was warm.
But her eyes remained open. "I knew something was bad wrong," the neighbor said.
"That's when I panicked."
