Mary J. Cooper, 37, was found shot to death in her Logan, Ohio, home on September 9, 2018. She was the mother of four children, including two minors who lived with her. Reports say Mary was shot late Saturday night or in the early hours of Sunday and later discovered with gunshot wounds in the home.

Investigators say her husband, 50-year-old George Cooper, carried out the shooting, then fled the scene with the couple’s two young children to a relative’s home in Meigs County. That relative notified authorities, who located the children and discovered Mary’s body. George Cooper was arrested and charged with murder; additional charges include tampering with evidence and possessing criminal tools. He was later indicted on aggravated murder and murder counts with gun specifications. Multiple agencies assisted in the investigation and prosecution.

The community mobilized to support the children left without their mother. If anyone has information about Mary Cooper’s final hours or the events that led to the shooting, please share what is known.
