Kyline C. Avey, 41, was found dead on June 1, 2022, in a wooded area behind her home on McClays Mill Road in Newburg, Pennsylvania. Law enforcement had been sent to her residence to assist another agency and could not make contact; after learning she hadn’t been seen or heard from for several days, officers searched the property and discovered her body. The Franklin County Coroner’s Office determined Kyline sustained multiple gunshot wounds and ruled her death a homicide.

Investigators identified her husband, 42-year-old Derrick Glen Avey, as the suspect. Before her body was found that same day, Derrick Avey died in an officer-involved shooting in Prince George County, Virginia, after a slow-speed pursuit ended when he confronted officers with a firearm and officers from the City of Hopewell Police and an ATF special agent fired on him. Authorities described Kyline’s death as an isolated incident with no further threat to the public.

If anyone knew Kyline, the couple, or has information about what happened in Newburg, please come forward to assist the investigation.
