On Christmas Day 2014 a woman was found dead in the driveway of her Parkside Drive home in Lebanon, Kentucky. At about 7:00 p.m. someone reported a female lying in the driveway with what was later determined to be a gunshot wound. Emergency responders took her to Spring View Hospital, and the Marion County Coroner later pronounced her dead. An autopsy was sent to the State Medical Examiner’s office in Louisville.
The victim was 46-year-old Susan D. Summers. She was a mother to two sons, William Davis Pittman III and Derrick Thomas Pittman, and a daughter, Brianna Pittman. The case remained unsolved for several years.
On June 4, 2018, Susan’s husband, 45-year-old Howard K. Summers, was arrested and later indicted by a Marion County grand jury on charges that included murder, tampering with physical evidence, and possession of a firearm by a convicted felon. He pleaded not guilty when arraigned and was held on $255,000 bond after a judge denied a bond reduction, calling him an extreme risk and danger to the community.
Does anyone have information about Susan, her last days, or the events on Parkside Drive on December 25, 2014?
