On the evening of March 14, 2025, 50-year-old Carol Ann Rich was found dead from multiple gunshot wounds at a home on Burnett Road, about 7 miles southeast of London, Kentucky. Laurel County deputies responded around 9:30 p.m.; the coroner pronounced her dead at the scene. Reports say she was shot five to seven times in several rooms of the house and in the driveway.

Authorities arrested Carol’s 26-year-old daughter, Brianna Rich, at the scene and charged her with murder. A 9mm pistol was recovered at the residence. At arraignment Brianna pled not guilty and bond was set at $250,000 cash; a later motion sought a competency hearing. The motive remains under investigation, although court testimony described an argument between mother and daughter before the shooting.

Carol was remembered in an obituary as a down to earth country girl who was high-spirited, outgoing and who treasured time teaching her grandchildren about life. Did anyone in the London area know Carol or have information about the events that night?
