Thirty-four year old Kendrick Lamar Chapman was a blacksmith and artist and did his work out of a workshop located on his property at 66783 Kessington Road in Calvin Township, Cass County, Michigan. On Sunday evening, June 24th, 2007, Kendrick left a phone message for a female friend, and he was never heard from again.
The next morning, a delivery truck arrived with a load of steel. The driver found Kendrick Chapman lying on the floor of his workshop in a pool of blood. An autopsy determined Kendrick died from a gunshot wound to the head.

Thoughts? The above was an article from 3 years ago about this case, which was featured on America's Most Wanted's old website as a web-exclusive case. Unfortunately the full archive link no longer works but here is the partial archive link: web.archive.org/web/20090303003613/http://www.amw.com/fugitives/brief.cfm?id=53783
Unfortunately, there doesn't seem to be much to work with. There was an incident in June 2006 in which Chapman was brutally beaten, but investigators have decline to comment as to whether or not there's a connection between the beating and killing: www.mlive.com/news/kalamazoo/index.ssf/2009/06/a_year_later_boys_asks_who_kil.html
