KANSAS CITY, Mo. — A Leavenworth man pleaded guilty Friday in connection with the April 2018 death of his girlfriend, according to a release from the Leavenworth County Attorney's Office.
Dan S. Flannagan, 67, pleaded guilty to voluntary manslaughter for shooting and killing his girlfriend, Constance Perryman, after an argument. Her body was found April 6, 2018, off 198th Street south of Linwood in rural Leavenworth County.
Flannagan's roommates heard shots fired during an argument between the two on April 3, 2018, according to the release from Leavenworth County Attorney Todd Thompson's office.
A short time later the roommate saw the victim on the ground and Flannagan standing over her telling her to "get up."
After Perryman's body was discovered, investigators found a spent shell casing and blood at the scene where the she was last seen during the argument with Flannagan.
"Our thoughts and prayers go out to the family," Thompson said in a statement. "We appreciated the work the (Leavenworth County) Sheriff’s office put into this case. More than one in three women around the world is a victim of some sort of abuse in their lifetime. It’s a problem of pandemic proportions, and the abuser is usually someone known to her."
Flannagan will be sentenced at 11 a.m. on April 8.
