Brooks, Kentucky, was shaken in autumn 2023 when the body of 42-year-old Patricia England was found in a ditch near Highway 1020 and Brooks Station Road on November 9, 2023. Bullitt County deputies determined her death was the result of foul play; an autopsy confirmed multiple gunshot wounds. Investigators said her body may have been at the location for several hours and that she could have been killed there or left after being murdered elsewhere.

England had been a Kentucky resident for only a few months after moving from Wisconsin; the last known area she was in was reported as Rineyville, about seven miles northwest of Elizabethtown. The case remains open and investigators are seeking information that could explain where she was before November 9 and who might be responsible.

If anyone knew Patricia’s movements in the days before her death or has information about the area she was last seen, contact the Bullitt County Sheriff’s Office.
