Candy Jansen Newburn, 35, was found dead after a house fire on Robert Walker Road in Citronelle, Alabama, in the early morning of November 20, 2018. Firefighters who responded to a blaze reported around 3:00 or 4:00 a.m. discovered her body in the charred home. An autopsy determined she had been shot before the fire was set, and the case was reclassified as a homicide.

The Mobile County Sheriff’s Office named her brother-in-law, Jason Tyler Newburn, as the primary suspect and sought him on a murder charge, alleging he shot Candy and then intentionally set the fire. At the time of the public announcement he was believed to be at large. Friends described Candy as kind and motherly, and the community was left seeking answers.

If anyone knew Candy, her routines, or has information about Jason Tyler Newburn’s whereabouts in late 2018, please share what you know.
