Dealynn OConnor, 51, was found dead inside her rental home on Hays Lodge Road in Smiths Grove, Kentucky, on June 17, 2016. Kentucky State Police classified the death as a homicide; she had been fatally shot. Friends described OConnor as outgoing and helpful, someone who never met a stranger.

Investigators identified 35-year-old Mary Rebecca Thompson of Cave City as a person of interest. Police located Thompson at a residence on Richpond-Rockfield Road, where a standoff lasted several hours before she was taken into custody on unrelated outstanding warrants. During questioning she admitted to shooting and killing OConnor and was charged in the case; she was held on a $1 million bond. No clear motive was released by law enforcement.

Earlier that year, in January 2016, OConnor had been the victim of a separate violent incident in Radcliff: a reported kidnapping and stabbing after she refused to jump off the Brandenburg Bridge. Five people were later indicted in that case. It has not been stated whether the January attack and the June homicide were connected.

Did anyone in the area know Dealynn OConnor or have information about her activities between January and June 2016?
