Valerie Yeomans, 45, of Davis, North Carolina, was murdered on September 23, 2014. She was found dead in her home along with her boyfriend, 49-year-old Dennis Harvey. Both victims had been shot multiple times; Harvey had also been stabbed. The killings occurred in the evening and were reported after a family member of Leonard Yeomans called to confess.

Leonard Yeomans, 49 and estranged from Valerie, turned himself in at the Carteret County Magistrate’s Office soon after, handing over two handguns identified as a 9mm Taurus and a .38 Cobra and admitting to the killings.

Leonard Yeomans pleaded guilty to two counts of first-degree murder and received two consecutive life terms without the possibility of parole. Friends and family described Valerie as warm and humorous; the community was deeply affected by the loss.
