Iowa man charged in deadly Appanoose County shooting
APPANOOSE COUNTY, Iowa — An Appanoose County man is facing a first-degree murder charge after the sheriff's office says he shot and killed a man on Thursday. At around 9:14 p.m., deputies with the Appanoose County Sheriff's Office responded to a report of an injured person outside a home in the 18000 block of 490th Street in Mystic. When deputies arrived at the scene, they found 75-year-old Stanley Brown lying in the front yard. According to court records, Brown suffered a single gunshot wound and died from his injury at the scene. While at the scene, deputies spoke to 62-year-old Dana Haub, of Moulton, who claimed he had shot Brown in 'self-defense.' According to court documents, Haub told investigators that he was inside a building on the property when he saw three Hispanic men who he claimed posed a threat. Haub went outside to his vehicle, grabbed his pistol, and then confronted the three men in the driveway, court documents say. Fort Dodge man accused of threatening to shoot law enforcement Haub claimed that during the alleged confrontation one of the men, identified as Brown, advanced toward him. Haub told investigators that he shouted at Brown before he fired his pistol at him three times, court documents say. While being questioned by investigators, Haub said 'he shot the man with the intent to kill,' but when investigators told Haub that Brown had died, Haub then denied that he shot Brown, a criminal complaint states. The complaint also notes that Haub told investigators that he didn't see Brown with a weapon throughout the incident. Law enforcement officers investigating the scene of the shooting found Haub's pistol on the property, which contained bullets that matched the spent .45 caliber casing that was found near Brown's body, court documents state. Haub's cell phone was also found at the scene. According to the criminal complaint, investigators noted that there was no evidence of three Hispanic men being at the property before, during, or after the shooting. Investigators also noted that there was no evidence to support that Brown was a threat to Haub before his death. An adult who was at the property with Haub and Brown roughly an hour before the shooting told investigators that there were no known conflicts or issues between the two men, court documents state. On Friday, the sheriff's office announced that Haub had been arrested and charged with first-degree murder in connection to Brown's death. Haub is being held at the Appanoose County Law Enforcement Center. The Iowa Department of Criminal Investigation and the Iowa State Patrol assisted the Appanoose County Sheriff's Office in investigating the case.

Barking dogs at Iowa kennel provide key evidence in murder case
When Angela Prichard arrived at work at the Mississippi Ridge Kennels in Bellevue, Iowa, the morning of Oct. 8, 2022, she did not anticipate her estranged husband, Christopher Prichard, would be waiting inside with a shotgun. What was meant to be a routine morning turned into tragedy when Christopher Prichard fatally shot her in the chest. Special Agent Dustin Henningsen from the Iowa Department of Criminal Investigation led the case. "You can hear dogs start to bark in the middle of the night. We had determined that was most likely the point when he arrived at the kennels," Henningsen told CBS News correspondent Jonathan Vigliotti in an interview for "Could Angela Prichard Have Been Saved?" — an all-new "48 Hours" airing Saturday, March 15 at 10/9c on CBS and streaming on Paramount+. Henningsen added it was "very, very early in the morning, when there was no daylight … close to 4 a.m." According to investigators, a day earlier on Oct. 7, Christopher Prichard snuck into an acquaintance's barn a few miles away from the kennels and later trekked through the woods in the middle of the night. Angela Prichard's sister, Wendy Budde, told "48 Hours" Christopher Prichard knew the combination to get inside. When Angela Prichard arrived in the morning to tend to the dogs, Christopher Prichard appeared with a shotgun. Angela Prichard called 911 almost immediately and is heard yelling "please get out" before yelling "Chris!" The sound of a gunshot can be heard on the 911 call. She ultimately named her killer. Just weeks earlier on Sept. 1, Angela Prichard had been granted a restraining order against her husband after she said she was continuously harassed, stalked and threatened by him. Angela Prichard had even left the home they shared and moved in with her sister. Nine days before Angela Prichard's murder, an arrest warrant was issued for Christopher Prichard for violating the restraining order. Angela Prichard's family tells" 48 Hours" police should have done more to arrest Christopher Prichard. They say in a small town like Bellevue, he was easy to find. After about 16 hours on the run, Christopher Prichard was arrested and charged with first-degree murder and robbery. He was found guilty and in March 2024, he was sentenced to life in prison without parole. Angela Prichard's family filed a lawsuit against the City of Bellevue and three police officers for failing to perform their job. In January 2025, a federal judge dismissed the case in its entirety and the family is now appealing the decision.
