On August 18, 2023, 60-year-old Lori Annette Kane was found dead in her Baileys Chapel Road home in Advance, North Carolina after deputies responded to a welfare check around 6:15 a.m. Officers forced entry and located Kane in the bedroom with an apparent gunshot wound; a weapon was recovered at the scene.

The initial 911 call came from 53-year-old Dwayne Gregory Doby, who had been living with Kane for about three weeks after she allowed him to stay so he could get back on his feet. Investigators identified Doby as the primary suspect, located him at a friend’s house in Rural Hall, and he surrendered after the residence was surrounded; he was arrested on a murder warrant and held without bond at the Davie County Detention Center. His first court appearance was scheduled for the following Tuesday.

If anyone knew Lori Kane, her routines, or her recent guests, or has information about Dwayne Doby’s time at her residence, that information could be important to the ongoing investigation.
