CHEYENNE, Wyo. — The day he took his life, a military-trained sniper who shot his estranged wife to death while she sang in a bar scrawled his final wishes on a bunch of paper plates and a cardboard box.

Under the heading “July 17, 2007 Last Will & Testament of David M. Munis,” Munis bequeathed guns to his children, listed a song he wanted played at his funeral and asked his brother to teach his youngest son certain virtues. Photocopies of the will were obtained this week by The Associated Press.

Trained during a stint in the Army with the military’s best survival, camouflage and shooting skills, Munis shot his 40-year-old wife, Robin, from outside the restaurant-bar where she was singing with a band July 14. She was killed by a single rifle bullet that shattered a plate glass door before striking her in the head.

The shooting and subsequent search for Munis drew international attention. David Munis, 36, was found three days later. He had shot himself with a high-powered rifle as heavily armed police closed in on him in a remote area about 50 miles northwest of Cheyenne.

The killing of Robin Munis remains under investigation by the Cheyenne Police Department, which is awaiting ballistics tests before closing the case, according to Capt. Jeff Schulz.

Because the case is open, some information held by police remains off-limits to the public. The records obtained by AP came from district court where Munis’ estate is being handled.

His children have already learned some irreversible lessons of life, and their children will learn what they teach them.
