Edward Vanwormer, 56, of Somerset, Kentucky, was reported missing after relatives had not seen him since early August 2015 and some personal items from his home were found missing. A missing person report was filed September 15, 2015, after concerns grew over the circumstances of his disappearance.

On September 23, 2015, authorities executed a search warrant at Vanwormer’s residence and recovered his body buried beneath a section of freshly poured concrete in the garage. An autopsy determined the cause of death was a gunshot wound, and the case was treated as a homicide.

Suspicion centered on Vanwormer’s son, Jedediah Lee Vanwormer, then 26, who reportedly phoned investigators pretending to be his father. Police say Jedediah’s girlfriend, Amanda Braddock, told them Jedediah had killed his father, and neighbors reported seeing both removing property from the home. The couple left the state, were later located in North Carolina and extradited back to Kentucky; Jedediah was charged with murder, theft and tampering with evidence and convicted, receiving a 30-year sentence.

Does anyone have information about Edward’s last known movements in early August 2015 or about items taken from his home?
