Rebecca Wood, a 35-year-old White woman from the War, West Virginia area, was killed in McDowell County during the spring of 2016. Family members reported her missing after her usual frequent calls stopped; her mother had become concerned and also noted that Rebecca’s husband, Woody Alfred Wood Jr., had been behaving differently. Investigators say the fatal confrontation occurred on or about March 30, 2016, inside the couple’s home in the English area of McDowell County, where Wood allegedly shot Rebecca in the head.

According to the criminal complaint and later court filings, Wood dismembered Rebecca’s body, placed the remains in trash bags and concealed them beneath the house. After fleeing briefly, Wood surrendered to authorities and reportedly confessed, directing them to the location where her remains were recovered. He was arrested in early April 2016, initially charged with first-degree murder, later pleaded guilty to second-degree murder on August 18, 2017, and received a sentence of up to 40 years in October 2017. Prosecutors said they were investigating whether anyone helped dispose of a bloodstained mattress, but no additional charges were publicly documented.

Does anyone from the War or English area remember Rebecca or have information about the days around late March 2016 that could shed light on what happened?
