Tanya Louise Harley, 34, was fatally shot at her Lusby, Maryland, home on the evening of April 28, 2017. Deputies who responded to a call for an injured person found her deceased from an apparent gunshot wound, lying in the threshold between the master bedroom and bathroom with her purse still wrapped around her arm. A neighbor and the couple’s young son discovered the body; the son had been left at the home and later was found by residents wandering through the neighborhood.

The immediate suspect was Tanya’s husband, 38-year-old James W. Harley Jr., who fled the scene and later turned himself in to Maryland State Police the next day. Court records described a troubled marriage, including a temporary protective order Tanya had sought, allegations of threats by James and text messages investigators recovered. Prosecutors charged James Harley with first-degree murder, arguing premeditation, plus related assault and firearm counts; he later pleaded guilty to first-degree premeditated murder and received a life sentence.

Did anyone in Lusby know Tanya or the family and have details about the days before April 28, 2017?
