Tammy Michelle Thorpe, 39, was found dead at her Jackson, Kentucky, home on Saturday, January 14, 2023. Initial reports described the death as a suicide, but investigators determined the scene was not consistent with that conclusion and reopened the case as a homicide.

Breathitt County investigators say Thorpe had been shot while she was sleeping and that a small child was believed to have been in the room at the time. Her 62-year-old husband, Berry Johnson, whom she had married the previous December, was arrested and charged with murder, tampering with physical evidence, and first-degree wanton endangerment. Authorities allege Johnson staged the scene to look like a suicide; he was held on a $1 million cash bond at the Kentucky River Regional Jail.

Are there readers who remember Tammy or the Thorpe family in Jackson and can share anything that might help clarify what happened?
