Jennifer Evans was 27 when she was shot to death inside her Seville Drive townhouse in the Teays Valley/Hurricane area of Putnam County, West Virginia, on September 10, 2015. Surveillance footage recorded a silver Honda Civic arriving at about 4:38 p.m.; the vehicle left about 16 minutes later. Evans sent her husband a message saying Philip David Casto was at the home. Her husband found her about 5:30 p.m. with a gunshot wound to the head.

Investigators focused on Casto of Scott Depot, whom prosecutors said Evans had previously been involved with and from whom she had tried to cut off contact after reconciling with her husband. Evidence introduced at hearings included a recent .40-caliber Glock purchase linked to Casto, surveillance and message records, bruising and a bullet trajectory suggesting Evans may have been forced or fallen before being shot, and Casto’s subsequent flight north. Casto was arrested in Braintree, Massachusetts, extradited to West Virginia, indicted for first-degree murder, and later entered a Kennedy plea. He was sentenced to life without the possibility of parole.

Does anyone have additional details about Evans’ life or who might have seen her that afternoon?
