Nine years later, still no suspect in Lori Heimer’s murder

WICHITA, Kan. (KWCH) - For nine years, Lori Heimer’s family has been chasing tips on who killed her. On June 25, 2016, Heimer’s family found her murdered in her home in Assaria; they immediately called 911.

The Saline County Sheriff’s Office and the Kansas Bureau of Investigation are both investigating the murder case. However, there have been no strong leads, and Heimer’s case remains at a standstill.

Heimer was a mother to four daughters, who text investigators whenever they think something could lead to the discovery of who killed their mom. Lynnsey Heimer said sometimes she even compares what she watches in true-crime documentaries, hoping it could help her mom’s case.

Heimer raised poodles. At first, investigators believed her murder was linked to her dog-breeding business. They asked clients who visited her in the five days before she was murdered to contact them.

Heimer’s daughter, Lynnsey, describes losing her mom feels like a wound with a scab; it starts to heal, but it hurts every time it’s bumped.

“She loved kids. She worked a lot in daycare and trained daycare providers,” Lynnsey Heimer described her mom. “She loved animals. She always had horses, dogs, and all the other things. She loved to play card games; she was a little bit competitive with that.”

Heimer and her three other sisters are still begging for tips. If you have any potential information, call the Kansas Bureau of Investigation at 1-800 CRIME or call CRIME STOPPERS at 825-TIPS or 825-8477.
