Virginia Mae Jenny Chumbley was 44 when she died from a gunshot wound at her London, Kentucky home on August 28, 2013. Her husband, Ernest Chris Chumbley, later told authorities he had shot her while she slept, saying he was ending her suffering from breast cancer. Minutes after the shooting he called 911 and framed the act as a mercy killing.

Family accounts were divided: some relatives said Virginia was miserable and had asked to die, while others said she planned to discuss new treatment options with doctors the following day. Ernest Chumbley was initially charged with murder; his case ultimately resolved with a guilty plea to manslaughter. In October 2015 a judge sentenced him to 15 years in prison, with prosecutors citing his intoxication that night and his state of mind as factors in the plea.

Did anyone in London know Jenny or have information about her treatment plans or conversations in the days before August 28, 2013?
