Kelly Anne Conklin was 22 when she was found shot multiple times in her car outside her home on Washington Street in Susquehanna, Pennsylvania, on October 17, 2014. A 2010 graduate of Susquehanna Community Jr/Sr High School and a 2013 graduate of Broome Community College, she loved travel and cared for a rescued Chihuahua named Diego.

Police investigation led to her ex-boyfriend, 34-year-old Jonathan Kopacz of Thompson. Court documents say their relationship ended in May 2014 and that Kopacz had been planning to kill her for months, allegedly purchasing two 9mm handguns for that purpose. Reports state he followed Kelly from a local bar, shot her as she was getting out of her vehicle using a gun in each hand, and an autopsy found 11 gunshot wounds with eight bullets recovered.

State troopers located Kopacz at his apartment where he was threatening suicide; he surrendered and later confessed to the killing. He was charged with homicide, pleaded guilty to first-degree murder in September 2015, and was sentenced to life without parole. Does anyone have memories of Kelly or information that could shed light on her last hours?
