Death of Pamela Shelley

 

Death of Pamela Shelley

This case was about a woman named Pamela Shelly and her mysterious death. Pamela died on route to the hospital in 2001 with a gunshot wound to the head. Some background to this was that her husband and her had just recently split up and her husband had moved in with her kids into a family friend's house. The family friend's name was Joe Hendrick. Investigators initially ruled the death as a suicied but with some more close look at the case, evidence showed that there was no way that she could have shot herself from the angle the bullet went into her head. With a closer look at the case, enforcement found Joe Hendrick guilty and he was sentenced to 22 years in prison.

The information in this article goes to show a lot. The case was initially ruled as a suicide. But with technology and forensics science they were able to take a closer look at the case. Scientists found the angle of the bullet that went through her head and were able to tell that it was impossible for her to shoot herself.

I thought this article was solid, but could use a little more. I feel like it needs to explain what the scientist did in order for them to find that angle of the bullet. Also I thin k it needs to give more background information about the case and what caused Joe Hendrick to murder pamela. But overall I thought the article was interesting and solid.
