Jennifer Jenny Nelson, 29, of Harrison Township, Dayton, Ohio, was murdered during a home invasion on January 2, 2009. She was home alone with her 4-year-old son, William, when an intruder, later identified as 22-year-old Charlie Myers of Columbus, broke in. Jenny freed herself during the attack and stabbed Myers, but he ultimately killed her.

After the murder Myers kidnapped William and abandoned him at a rest stop along Interstate 70; William was found and reunited with his father, Eddie Nelson. Myers was arrested, pleaded guilty to multiple charges including aggravated murder and kidnapping, and received a sentence of life without parole plus additional years for related counts.

Jenny is remembered by family and friends for her kindness, quirky sense of humor, and devotion to her son. Does anyone have memories of Jenny or information about the case that could add detail to the timeline of events?
