DULUTH, MN (nomadnews.i234.me) – In a devastating turn of events, Dale John Howard, 25, finds himself at the center of a chilling murder case involving his girlfriend, Allisa Vollan, 27. Vollan’s lifeless body was discovered at an apartment complex on 31 East 5th Street last Friday, marking a tragic end to a tumultuous relationship.
Howard now faces two felony counts related to Vollan’s death: 2nd Degree Murder Without Intent While Committing a Felony, and 2nd Degree Murder While Under a Restraining Order for Protection.
The circumstances surrounding Vollan’s death are shrouded in mystery and horror. Despite an active Domestic Abuse No Contact Order against him, Howard had been in contact with Vollan, leading to a series of escalating events.
Neighbors reported hearing disturbing sounds emanating from Howard’s apartment in the early hours of March 22, including cries of distress and thudding noises. These harrowing details paint a grim picture of the events that unfolded within the confines of Howard’s residence.
In his statement to the police, Howard claimed innocence, stating that he found Vollan unresponsive after returning home from an outing. However, his assertions stand in stark contrast to the evidence and witness testimonies.
As the community grapples with the shock of Vollan’s untimely demise, a GoFundMe campaign has been launched to support her funeral expenses and legal proceedings. Described as a vibrant individual with a promising future, Vollan’s tragic end serves as a stark reminder of the dangers lurking within abusive relationships.
