In a tragic event that unfolded in Roanoke, Indiana, 25-year-old Nicole Marie 'Nikki' Scheiber was found deceased on Thursday, April 9, 2009. The discovery was made at her residence in the Castle Hill Mobile Home Park after she failed to show up for her job at the Gib Young Insurance Agency, prompting her employer to request a welfare check.
Authorities were dispatched to the home around 11:30 a.m. and inside, they found the bodies of Scheiber and 26-year-old Jeremy Stroh. The Huntington County Sheriff's Department determined that Stroh had shot Scheiber multiple times before taking his own life.
The incident was ruled a murder-suicide, and investigators found no evidence to suggest anyone else was involved in the deaths.
Nicole, who was born on December 9, 1983, in Goshen, Indiana, was a 2001 graduate of Huntington North High School. In addition to her work in insurance, she was passionate about gymnastics and served as an instructor at the Huntington Gymnastic Academy. Friends and family remembered her for her enjoyment of life, reading, and bowling, with a particular love for working with children in gymnastics.
