Nancy Mae Cornett Smith, 63, was found fatally shot in her home in Viper, Kentucky, on April 2, 2021. Her death was described as violent and deeply affected her family and the small community, who remembered her as a mother, sister, and grandmother.

The Kentucky State Police led the investigation and identified 49-year-old Chester Adams, also of Viper, as the person responsible for the shooting. Adams was taken into custody and charged in connection with Smith’s death.
