Police Find Door Unlocked, Bodies Inside


"HUNTSVILLE, AL — Police are on the scene of an apparent murder/suicide on High Ridge Drive in Huntsville.

"A sergeant on scene said officers went to perform a welfare check on a woman at an apartment in The Reserve at Fairway Hills less than an hour ago.

"Officers arrived to check on a woman who was reported missing by someone they believe was her sister earlier today, he said.

"He said officers knocked on the door and no one answered, and that the door was unlocked.

"When they went inside, officers found the bodies of a man and a woman. One was upstairs and another was on the first floor, the sergeant said.

"He said both appear to have suffered gunshot wounds.

"Police later identified the victims as Roxanne Bice and Dan Schimenti.

"Neighbors did not report hearing gunshots, and police said they have not yet determined what time the crime occurred."

  1. Who are you people, to put such horrifying incidents into a BLOG! I knew one of the people above for 31 years, and it is incredibly painful to see it in news, much less by some unknown BLOGGERS!!!

    1. Yes, RIP Dan, until he comes back for his next life (neither of us believed in Christianity)! You do not know all the details of what occurred, I do. I'm the one who had to deal with all of it for weeks. Dan is not burning in "hell" because hell is right here on earth and apparently occurred the night of October 28/29. I will not give out any more details, especially to someone who hides behind "Anonymous"!

  6. While it is clear that Roxanne is who you knew, I feel it is unfair for you to make assumptions about how and where Dan is resting! Dan was a brilliant man and a great soul, who had been drug around like a beaten dog with a spiked collar on a leash by the last two women he cared about! He was taken for everything, he poured his heart and soul into everyone and everything he cared about! Whether he was the shooter or not, and whether there was a note or not, there is one less great man on this earth. He is and forever will be missed by his many great friends that he left in Arizona that he left for a woman who treated him so poorly!

    1. Dan may have been "drug around like a beaten dog with a spiked collar on a leash" with Ms. Bice, but never by me (Cheryl, wife of over 31 years). Be careful what you write, you have no idea what a great marriage we had for over 30 years, all the travel to off-the-beaten-path places, Friday night dates for years and years, presents to each for no reason, and etc etc. As far as his being "taken for everything", not true. I got the household stuff, he didn't want any of it. There was not much money by then, and I've lived at poverty level ever since. Don't make such assumptions or perhaps misinterpret angry remarks he may have made DURING the divorce. I never treated him poorly.

  7. He chose his path in life... If you know anything about great souls and such you know he chose his way. There are a lot of great men that died..he may have been great for awhile but in the end the chose the ultimate sin to leave us and take an undeserving person with him. We are responsible for our decisions we make. He chose to move, he chose to be with whom he was with and he chose to die in the manner he did. He chose to take anothers life before taking his. NO ONE MADE HIM DO IT. Life is full of lessons to be learned, he would of taken a different path. He didn't ....so maybe you should accept the fact that everything he did and everything that has happened to him was by his own choice. I thought highly of Dan at one point also. I thought he was a great guy..but it doesn't change the fact that in the end he was not such a great guy. All will be forgiven in time and on the other side but until then I must have contempt when speaking of the situation and if you have a heart and if this would of happen to a very good friend of yours by someone you would feel the same way. We will all have to make peace with this eventually and try to understand. Think about your life for a minute...is it all you wanted? Well do some reading and you will know you can't blame others for your bad decisions or the people you bring into it because you chose to do so on your own. To you, I wish you well. No more arguments over this. Its mute...we both lost someone dear to us regardless of how it happen. Now we must accept it and move on.

    1. You most certainly didn't know Dan as I did for about 35 years. It was only the last year we were together he began to become ill and change. And Ms. Bice was cheating on him in the house he and I still owned together and in Huntsville, among many other things I won't go into. We talked often, he told me things he didn't tell others. Yep, I am Cheryl.

  8. I used to work with Dan for many years if we are talking about the right person. Did Dan once live and work in SF and was married to Cheryl Schimenti?

    1. Yes, regrettably the same one. She is devastated, as are the rest of us who knew Dan, and Cheryl, too.

    2. Why regrettably? I loved him for over 35 years, was married to him for 31 years. Until the last year we were together, he was a person who could never have done what he did. And yes, I AM devastated even 9 months later. I will love him forever. Ms.Bice was not exactly good to him, I'll leave it at that. Dan was in touch with me, and always telling me he still loved me, until about 2 months before he died, the last time we spoke. I know far more than any of you about who he was through all those 35 years. Yes, I'm Cheryl.

  9. Oh yeah, I got notified by a homicide detective early the morning of my birthday. Great way to remember my birthday from now on.

  10. I really love how all of you use "Anonymous", so you can say anything you want about Dan or me (Cheryl) and just go on your merry way. Please remember he was a very loving and wonderful human being for a VERY long time with me, and to say I'm "devastated" is so understated, I have no other words which could describe having the last person who REALLY knew me being gone from this planet.
