Michigan Women's Justice & Clemency Project
Died April 12, 1997. Michele was strangled by her husband, Jeffrey Nowlin, 26, who then committed suicide. Police said they had responded to the residence a few times in the past because of loud arguments. There was no mention of arrests being made. A friend and former co-worker of Michele's said she was afraid of her husband. "She told me he beat her all the time and wouldn't let her have friends or anything." Michele left two little boys, ages one and seven.
