Floyd Anthony Andy Evans, 65, was found dead on June 16, 2018, in an unlocked detached garage at one of his properties on Evans Farm Road in Fremont, North Carolina. The Wayne County Sheriff’s Office discovered him seated in a recliner; he had been shot once in the head while reportedly on the phone with a coworker. No weapon was recovered at the scene and his wallet was missing. The death was ruled an apparent gunshot homicide and the North Carolina State Bureau of Investigation assisted in the inquiry.

During the probe, investigators developed information about suspected embezzlement connected to Evans’ farming operation. That led to a separate criminal case: on November 2, 2021, Elizabeth Raper Fleming, 53, a former office manager for the farm, was arrested on multiple felony embezzlement and related charges. As of the latest update, no arrests have been made in connection with Evans’ homicide. A total of $40,000 in rewards is being offered for information leading to an arrest and conviction.

If anyone knew Evans, worked at his farm, or has information about his movements on June 16, 2018, please come forward with tips.
