Neighbors: No problems before death in Ryan

RYAN -- Local businessman Terry Sauser, who was shot to death in his home Sunday night, was "a good guy, a quiet man who would never get physical," according to his daughter, Michelle Sauser of Cedar Rapids.

Michelle Sauser said the woman charged with murdering her dad, his second wife, Revette A. Sauser, 42, came into his life about six years ago, precipitating his divorce from her mother, Bonnie Sauser of Ryan.

Revette A. Sauser, 42, charged with first-degree murder in the shooting, also
maneuvered to keep Terry Sauser, 59. away from his three children, Michelle Sauser said.

"The whole town is in shock," said Pearl Kelchen, who lives across the alley from the Sauser home, where the owner of the town's only convenience store, was shot to death around 8:30 p.m.

Court documents filed Monday said Revette Sauser fired "one shot from a .380 handgun" into her husband's chest.

While neighbors said they knew of no friction in the marriage, Revette Sauser's recent Facebook postings suggest otherwise.

In a posting following the recent death of her father, Revette Sauser alluded to "fighting" among family and spoke of moving back to Illinois.

Delaware County Sheriff John LeClere said deputies found Terry Sauser unconscious but alive in the living room of the home in the 400 block of South Street. He died in an ambulance on the way to a hospital.

Pearl Kelchen's husband, Harold Kelchen, who had known Terry Sauser for 20 years, said he was “a decent kind of guy." Revette Sauser, he said, had upbraided him with little provocation on several occasions.

Ryan Fire Chief Shawn Kehrli declined to comment on the shooting because both Terry and Revette Sauser had been members of the local Fire Department. :It affects us both ways," he said.

Ann Kehrli, the Sauser's neighbor to the east, described them as good neighbors, pleasant and polite, but not outgoing.

"I have never been inside their house." she said.

Neither Kehrli nor the Kelchens heard or saw anything out of the ordinary until emergency vehicles arrived with flashing lights after 8:30 p.m.

Terry Sauser, the owner of the 5 Alarm Store, a convenience store on Highway 13, was well-known in the community, LeClere said.

LeClere said he was not aware of any calls to the Sauser residence related to domestic issues.

Revette Sauser's bond was set Monday at $1 million cash, and her next court appearance is set for Monday.

Funeral services are set for 11 a.m. Thursday at Peace Lutheran Church in Ryan.

Ryan, population 362, is 36 miles northeast of Cedar Rapids.

Suspect bought murder weapon earlier this year

The .380 handgun used to kill Ryan businessman Terry Sauser on Sunday night was purchased earlier this year by the woman charged with first-degree murder in the slaying - his wife, Revette Sauser.

Revette Sauser, 42, obtained a permit to acquire weapons through the Delaware County Sheriff's Office around the middle of last year, according to Sheriff John LeClere.

"My understanding is that she used the permit to buy the .380 handgun sometime after the first of the year.," LeClere said.

The Iowa Division of Criminal Investigation and the Sheriff's Office are trying to determine if she bought the gun with any specific intent in mind, he said.

LeClere said he did not know if Revette Sauser owns any other firearms.

Revette Sauser, who is in the Delaware County Jail on a $1 million cash bond, did not have a permit to carry weapons in a concealed manner, and none would have been required to keep a weapon in the home, he said.

LeClere said deputies found Terry Sauser unconscious but alive in the living room of the home in the 400 block of South Street. He died in an ambulance on the way to a hospital.

Court documents filed Monday said Revette Sauser fired "one shot from a ,380 handgun" into her husband's chest.

Although some firearm experts rate the .380 marginal for accuracy and stopping power, sales of the lightweight and compact handgun have increased dramatically in an era of heightened concern about personal security.

He was buried in April 2011 at Oakland Cemetery, Manchester, Delaware Co., IA, Findagrave #67920119.

     Helena Eliza Sauter was born on 1 April 1830 at Lachen Speyerdorf, Palatinate. She was the daughter of John Sauter and Helena Hoffman.¹ Helena Eliza Sauter married Walter Ludwig Faulhaber, son of Isaak Jakob Ludwig Faulhaber and Anna Louisa Munzinger, on 1 March 1849 at Tiffin, Seneca Co., OH, Ceremony by Rev. John J. Beilharz. Helena Eliza Sauter died on 7 February 1904 at Lancaster Co., NE, at age 73 Helena was the oldest girl, but we do not know how many children were in her family. We do know that she had a brother and sister, Christina. Her brother, Frank Souder, also served in the Civil War. He was killed in the Battle of Chancellorsville, VA, May 2, 1865, at 25 years of age. Inscription on his tombstone - "His body is not buried here. He fell in the Battle for the Cause he held dear. He obeyed his Commander, was brave in his fight and died like a soldier for freedom and right. Capt. of Co. B 55 Regt. O. VI." Buried at Maumee, Ohio. - Note from June Kaiser.

Helena's father was a butcher and owned a big Butcher Shop in Sandusky, Ohio. When they had the flu epidemic there, he would take all the bones and meat scraps he had home and they would cook it up in a soup. Then everyday after he closed the shop he and Helena would go around and fill the soup bowls, pots or whatever the people would put out on their porchs or doorsteps, so they would have something nourishing to eat while they were ill - Note from June Kaiser.

The 1850 US Census, City of Tymochtee, Wyandot County, OH - Lewis, Eliza, and John Faulhaber were living with Eliza's parents. They are John Souder, 44, M, Farmer & Butcher; Helena, 45, F; Frank, 12, M; Phebe, 10, F; Christina, 5, F; Hannah, 3, F; and Mary A. 1, F.
