Lisa worked as a bookkeeper and had previously been a dental assistant. She was known for her positive and upbeat personality, always involved in her children's activities.
The circumstances surrounding Lisa's death were the result of a volatile relationship with her 45-year-old ex-boyfriend, Leonard Moser. In the weeks leading up to her murder, Lisa and Leonard had been involved in multiple disputes, and both had filed for protection-from-abuse orders against each other. Lisa alleged that she was physically abused almost daily for three months. Despite her repeated requests for help, police were unable to intervene effectively.
On the day of her death, Lisa was shot multiple times in her garage by Leonard Moser, who then took his own life shortly after. Lisa's 17-year-old daughter discovered her body. The police had been called to the residence multiple times prior to the murder, but no arrests were made. The case raised questions about the handling of domestic violence reports by the police.
