Police say the bodies of a man and woman found in a Council Bluffs home Saturday morning was the result of a murder/suicide.
Officers called to the Bluffs Acres mobile home park near
Pueblo Road and Chippewa Circle just after 10 a.m. to investigate a
report of a shooting found the bodies of 38-year-old Stephony Metzger
and 42-year-old Terry Francis in one of the home's bedrooms.
Police say Metzger, who lived at the home, and Francis had
been dating for several years. It's believed he shot Metzger before
turning the gun on himself. Neighbor Jennifer Iwersen said Metzger had
recently been trying to end the relationship.
Metzger was the mother of three children between the ages
of 12 and 18. Carolyn Brown, who lives across the street, went to
school with the oldest child. "She's recently started college. She was
talking on Facebook the other day about how she was really looking
forward to a bright future and then unfortunately something like this
happened. I feel so terribly sorry for her."
Brown didn't know Metzger well. “I didn’t have many
conversations with her, but she seemed really nice and caring. When she
would come out with her dogs she would wave and say hi. She never
seemed mean at all. I’ve only had pleasant encounters with her.”
