Jessica Lester was found unconscious in her Griffin home from what police thought was an apparent self-inflicted gunshot wound.
Lester recovered from the shooting but doesn’t remember any of it. Her ex-husband and former Griffin police officer Matthew Boynton was investigated in the case, but was only charged with making false statements and violating oath.
The question still remains: Who, if anyone, shot Lester?

The investigation leaves some with more questions than answers.#RealLifeNightmare Saturday 8p on HLN. pic.twitter.com/TWVuVCnhQo
