Ann Lynette (Snow) Marx

How they died

Deadly force

According to the sheriff's department, an informant said Ann Lynette Marx was going to buy methadone from a resident of Victory Village assisted-living facility. Deputy Todd Landis was hiding behind the bushes when Marx pulled up, and the resident went to her other. Landis approached with his gun drawn, and claimed it accidentally went off as Marx started to pull away. A bullet struck Marx through the driver's-side window. She died at the scene around 8:30 a.m. On November 8, 2006, Landis was arrested in Falls City for drunk driving. Landis, 42, was charged with DUI, refusal to submit to a preliminary breath test and refusal to submit to a chemical test. The following week, a grand jury decided not to indict Landis for shooting Marx. That same month, Landis left the department.
