Kelly Susanne Levinsohn was a 44-year-old paramedic in Columbus, Georgia. On May 11, 2019, first responders forced entry to her home after a reported domestic incident and found her on the floor with a gunshot wound to the back of the head. Investigators recovered a handgun at the scene and found no signs of forced entry.

Attention quickly focused on William Bill Talley III, a Columbus Police sergeant with whom Levinsohn was having an affair. Neighbors described a tumultuous relationship and police had been called to Levinsohn’s home about a year earlier after Talley allegedly threatened to kill himself. After the shooting Talley fled in Levinsohn’s truck, crashed off Interstate 185 in Harris County, engaged in a standoff during which he threatened suicide, then surrendered and was arrested and later fired from the department.

A grand jury indicted Talley on multiple counts including malice murder and felony murder. He later pleaded guilty to felony murder, aggravated assault, and using a gun to commit a crime; other charges were dropped and a life sentence was imposed with parole eligibility after 30 years. Did anyone in the Columbus area know Levinsohn or have information about the relationship between her and Talley?
