Jady Abbott was 34 when she died on the evening of Wednesday, December 14, 2016, in Fort Gibson, Oklahoma. Initial accounts described a high-powered rifle discharging as it was being loaded while she was with Joseph Lane; the round struck and killed her. The death was first reported as a tragic accident, and a memorial service was held December 20, 2016, at Boulevard Christian Church in Muskogee.

Jady worked for more than a decade as an ultrasound technician at W.W. Hastings and Tahlequah City Hospitals and was remembered by colleagues and family as vibrant, loving, and devoted to her children. She had recently decided to leave her hospital job to start a new business with Lane. On April 27, 2017, Joseph Lane was charged with manslaughter in connection with her death.

Did anyone in the Fort Gibson or Muskogee area know Jady or have information about the events of December 14, 2016?
