  		Obituary- DeDonder, Susan 2 Shooting death focus of inquiry Detectives from the Shawnee County Sheriff’s Department continued late Wednesday afternoon to investigate the shooting death of a woman, whose body was found early Wednesday in an outbuilding near her farmhouse about three miles northwest of Rossville. Capt. Ken Pierce, head of county detectives, identified the dead woman as Susan M. DeDonder, 27. Investigators said they were trying to determine whether the woman’s death was a suicide or a homicide. Sheriff’s detectives were called to the DeDonder home after DeDonder’s husband found her body about 7 a.m. Wednesday. The DeDonder home is on Anthony Road three-tenths of a mile south of US-24 in west Shawnee County. When found, the body was lying in a swing inside a metal outbuilding about 100 feet south of the DeDonder home, Pierce said. The swing was on the floor of the outbuilding. County Detective Richard Mergen said the cause of death was a gun¬shot wound to the right side of the head above the ear. A semi-automatic pistol used in the shooting was found near where the woman’s body originally was located before emergency personnel moved her outside the outbuilding Wednesday morning during an attempt to administer aid to her. Mergen said detectives were attempting to determine whether the woman’s death was a homicide or a suicide. “It’s just' not that clear at this point,” Mergen said. Detective Sgt. Mark Wanamaker said, “We are still investigating. We’ve got a few more facts to run down before we can say. It’s an up-in-the-air deal right now." Mergen said more friends and relatives of the dead woman need to be interviewed in connection with the case. Mergen said DeDonder was last seen alive at 9 p.m. Tuesday when she was with a friend.

Detective Richard Mergen said he and detective Rick Hladky had concluded interviews with DeDonder’s relatives and acquaintances and had reviewed the physical evidence before closing the case Tuesday.
