Victim Facebooked re: domestic abuse

Kelly Pease, 37, of Coeur d’Alene, message on her Facebook wall on Monday, two days before she was found shot to death in a vehicle in a Kootenai Health parking lot. Coeur d’Alene police are looking for Steven T. Denson, 61, of Post Falls, who is suspected of killing the former Bonners Ferry woman.

The man wanted for killing his former girlfriend in the parking lot of Kootenai Health Wedesday has a history of domestic violence and violated a no contact order. Coeur d’Alene Police say Steven Denson shot Kelly Pease; the two used to be in a romantic relationship. On her Facebook page, Pease wrote about being the victim of domestic violence. In a post Monday, she said “I refuse to perpetuate the cycle of domestic violence by exposing my children to it. I do not abuse… therefore, I will not submit myself to abuse.” Idaho court records show Denson was arrested in January on charges of attempted strangulation, domestic violence battery, theft and malicious injury to property. He was scheduled to enter a plea later this month/KXLY. More here.
