Amber Piguet, 25, was shot and killed in her Wheelersburg-area home on January 9, 2017. Three children under the age of 7 were in the residence during the shooting; a small child later called 911 to report that her aunt had been shot and was dead. The home is on Piquet Road in the Wheelersburg area.

Responding deputies from the Scioto County Sheriff’s Office found Amber deceased. A witness reported seeing a male suspect trying to enter the residence with something in his hands before several gunshots were heard; the suspect then fled in a burgundy van. Carl Hayden, 64, of South Webster, Ohio, was arrested shortly after and charged with first-degree murder. He was held in the Scioto County jail on $100,000 bond and later indicted on aggravated murder, murder, four counts of felonious assault, menacing by stalking, and improperly discharging a firearm into a habitation.

The presence of young children in the home drew significant attention and family and community members mourned her loss. Does anyone have information about the events that night or remembers seeing a burgundy van in the area?
