Sarah Anderson, 41, was one of four people killed in a shooting at a home on Hardwicke Place in Butler Township on August 5, 2022. The other victims were her 15-year-old daughter Kayla Anderson and an elderly couple, Clyde Knox, 82, and Eva Knox, 78. All four were found with gunshot wounds at the residence.

Authorities identified 39-year-old Stephen Marlow of Butler Township as the primary suspect. Investigators say Marlow fled the scene in a white 2007 Ford Edge SUV and headed west on Interstate 70; he was captured in Lawrence, Kansas, the day after the shooting and has been charged with multiple counts including aggravated murder and aggravated burglary. Marlow has pleaded not guilty by reason of insanity and a competency hearing has been scheduled; the Montgomery County Prosecutor’s Office is handling the case. The Butler Township Police Department and the FBI’s Cincinnati office continue working the investigation.

The community has held vigils and established fundraisers and scholarships in memory of Sarah and Kayla Anderson. If anyone has information about the shooting or the events leading up to August 5, 2022, please come forward.
