Reopen Chance Edmiston's 2023 Suspicious Death Case
The Issue
We are pushing for a state or federal agency to reopen Chance Edmiston’s case and conduct a thorough and detailed investigation.
The Issue: Lack of investigation leads to unsupported suicide ruling and non-criminal status in case closure.
Chance Edmiston was 27 years old when on July 7, 2023, he was shot on his own front stoop. Henry County Sheriff's Office of Missouri and former Coroner Dain Sisk epically failed Chance.
The Paper Discovery states the case status was closed as suicide at the exact moment the 911 calls came in, before first responders even arrived on scene.
HCSO and former Coroner Dain Sisk determined Chance Edmiston's case to be noncriminal/suicide without conducting an in-depth investigation, without an autopsy. GSR testing was never administered. No spent bullet or casing were ever found. No fingerprint or fiber testing was done on any aspect of the "Alleged Weapons Evidence," which has also seemingly been cleaned or swapped after chain of evidence shows it was entered into the evidence locker.
The ER doctor stated on July 7, 2023 the entry wound was to the left temple.... Chance Edmiston was Right-Handed. This information was provided to HCSO, was completely ignored and was not entered into Chance Edmiston’s case file.
Please see Justice4chance.com for an extensive list of the corruption and incompetence Chance Edmiston's family has found while investigating Chance's case and to view the bodycam footage.
Please Sign this petition to help Chance Edmiston's family fight for a comprehensive investigation, and justice!
Please share to help us continue our fight for Chance and to protect future families from suffering as we do every day.
Chance Edmiston is not the first victim of the corrupt system running Henry County, please help us fight to make sure he's the last.
