Nancy Melton Britt, 49, was shot through the chest and killed at the home of her disabled sister, Donna Mabry, at 410 W. 36th St. in Lumberton, North Carolina on August 23, 2003. A 911 call was placed at 3:28 a.m.; police found Nancy collapsed in the hallway with a small-caliber bullet wound. Donna, despite her disability, made the call.

Investigators traced a .25-caliber bullet recovered from Nancy to a round that had been accidentally discharged in the home of Myron Britt’s parents two years earlier. Physical evidence linked the bullet to a handgun Myron Britt once owned. Prosecutors said financial motive may have played a role, noting four insurance policies in Nancy’s name totaling about $800,000 to $900,000 and Myron Britt’s financial problems. Myron Britt, 49, was arrested at his Cary home and later convicted of first-degree murder and sentenced to life without parole.

Does anyone have information about Nancy’s life in Lumberton or about the events that night?
