Danielle Dawn Wilson was 25 when she died of a single gunshot wound to the chest at her boyfriend Wyatt Ward Hollar’s apartment in Henrico, Virginia, on the night of February 11, 2007. She had recently graduated from James Madison University and was planning graduate school.

Hollar said during the argument that Wilson grabbed a .45-caliber handgun from beneath a seat cushion and shot herself. Prosecutors disagreed, charging him with second-degree murder and securing a conviction in October 2008 that carried a 15-year sentence. That conviction was later set aside after jurors were exposed to portions of a police interrogation not entered into evidence, prompting a retrial.

At the August 2010 retrial, state forensic supervisors testified the original forensic testing was incomplete and procedures were not followed, raising doubts about the ruling that the wound could not be self-inflicted. The jury acquitted Hollar after deliberation.

Did anyone who knew Danielle or the household around that time notice anything unusual about the couple’s relationship or the apartment in early 2007?
