Summary

On the night of November 20, 1997, 28-year-old Jodie Bordeaux was at home in Powhattan, Kansas, with her husband Shawn. Just before 12:45 am, on what was now the 21st, a car pulled up and started shooting into the house. Jodie, who was six and a half months pregnant, ran to her bedroom for cover but was shot once, killing her instantly. Tragically, Jodie’s unborn baby, Jordan Shay, also passed away, leaving Shawn without a wife and child.

A thorough investigation ensued and authorities identified a handful of suspects and a motive; however, no arrests have been made. It’s been more than 26 years since Jodie was murdered, and investigators are still searching for the person or people responsible...

At around 12:40 am on November 21, 1997, Jodie Bordeaux was shot and killed in her home, located just north of Hazelnut Road and 175th Road in Powhattan, Kansas. The person or people responsible used a high-powered, semi-automatic rifle.

Anyone with information in Jodie’s case is asked to call the Brown County Sheriff's Department at 785-742-7125 or Kansas Bureau of Investigation at 1-800-572-7463.
