On November 1, 1992, the body of Ida Louise Loe was found on the floor of the bedroom in her second story condominium. She had been shot and stabbed multiple times.

The victim's daughter went to the condominium because she had not been able to contact her mother. The daughter called police when no one answered the door at the condo. Officers gained access to the residence via the balcony and found the victim.

There was no sign of forced entry; however, two keys were found outside the residence that opened the front door.

The victim was known to regularly enter into financial transactions and had recently backed out of a real estate transaction.
