Autumn Bryant, 44, was killed on March 19, 2019, in Gardiner, Maine, in what authorities later classified as a murder‑suicide. She had been separated from her husband, Kenneth Bryant, 48, and was staying at her brother’s home on Fairview Street while the couple’s divorce was pending.

Gardiner police found Autumn inside the garage with two gunshot wounds; she was taken to MaineGeneral Medical Center in Augusta and later died of her injuries. Kenneth Bryant was discovered dead in his pickup truck in the driveway from an apparent self‑inflicted gunshot wound. Earlier that morning a house on Messalonskee Lake owned by Autumn’s mother and stepfather was destroyed by fire; investigators linked that blaze to Kenneth and believe he set it before driving to Gardiner.

The homeowners were in Florida at the time and were notified of the deaths. The case was closed as a murder‑suicide with Kenneth Bryant identified as the sole suspect. Did anyone in the area know the Bryants or see anything unusual that morning?
