William Denver Comer Jr., 60, of Lowell, West Virginia, was found dead on November 11, 2017 in an abandoned pickup truck near Union, West Virginia. Authorities said his body showed what appeared to be a single gunshot wound to the head. The Monroe County Sheriff’s Office and the West Virginia State Police handled the investigation and sent Comer’s body to the state Medical Examiner’s Office in Charleston for autopsy.

Investigators arrested 32-year-old Judy Wooten of War Ridge on November 13, 2017 and charged her with murder; sheriff Ken Hendrick confirmed Wooten and Comer knew each other but did not comment on a motive at the time of arrest. Comer was born August 16, 1957 in Waynesboro, Virginia and was involved in his local Pence Springs Community Church; he worked as a farmer and truck driver and enjoyed camping, trapping, and farming.

Anyone with information about Comer’s death or about his connection to Judy Wooten is asked to come forward.
