WI, Mountain, Oconto Co.
Amy's murder has left her 2 Sons, ages 9 & 10 at at the time of her death, to be cared for by her relatives and to grow up without their Mother in their lives
Amy and her parents, Jane and David, were killed by Amy’s estranged husband, David DeBauche, 41. All three were shot numerous times with a .22 caliber gun and once in the head with a shotgun at close range. The killings occurred while Jane was on her cell phone with a 911 dispatcher, calling for help. Before she was shot, Jane asked that police check a Green Bay residence where she thought that Amy and David’s children might be home alone. After his arrest, authorities learned that David had left the children with relatives before traveling to the property where Amy was camping with her parents.
In November of 2004 Amy reported to police that David had strangled her to the point of unconsciousness. Several days later she completed a request for a temporary restraining order, but did not file the petition. According to Amy’s sister, she was too afraid it would further infuriate David. In January 2005, Amy filed for divorce. One neighbor described seeing police escort Amy to the house several times to collect her belongings. Family members said there was an ongoing custody action over the couple’s two sons that continued after their separation. Amy’s brother testified at the trial that he bought pepper spray for his sister because he was worried about her safety. At the time of the homicides David was under court order to stay away from the Oconto County property where the shootings occurred.
David DeBauche pled not guilty to three counts of First-Degree Intentional Homicide. He was found guilty of all charges by a jury and was sentenced to life in prison without possibility of parole.
