Lisa Shuler & Other Stories

Lisa Shuler was to be convicted of murder in the first degree in 2014. But whatever possessed the sweet, quiet and church-going woman to commit such a horrific crime?

It was as Lisa and her husband Brandon were approaching their tenth wedding anniversary that something appears to have changed within the God-fearing, upright pillar of the New Albany community. It seems as though, for the loyal wife and model citizen, days of giving uncomplainingly to others were beginning to be replaced by a sense of her own unhappiness; a feeling that 'me time' became suddenly important to her. Like many women, and men, who have committed themselves unthinkingly to others, the time came for Lisa to re-evaluate her life. And from this self-analysis emerged the sense that something was missing.

And she had to kill to do something about it.
