Ava Renee Morgan, 41, was found dead at her Meadowview, Virginia, home on January 6, 2023, with apparent gunshot wounds. She worked as a corrections officer at the Southwest Virginia Regional Jail Authority.

Her husband, 76-year-old George William Morgan, walked into a magistrate’s office and confessed to killing someone, giving the couple’s Pocahontas Trail address. Deputies who went to that address located Ava Morgan’s body; no other people were reported to be involved. George Morgan was arrested and charged with first-degree murder and was held without bond.

Court filings show the case moved forward through the legal system and a guilty plea was entered in February 2024, resulting in a life sentence. Is anyone in Meadowview able to shed light on Ava Morgan’s life or the events leading up to January 6, 2023?
