Laura Lee Woody Evans, 45, was shot and killed on the evening of Friday, January 31, 2014, while sitting in her car at a Marathon gas station in Appomattox, Virginia. A Randolph-Macon Woman’s College graduate and a student systems specialist for Appomattox County Schools, she was a well-known member of the community whose sudden death left family, friends and colleagues in shock.

Investigators identified her estranged husband, Aubrey Butch Evans III, as the primary suspect. He fled the scene after the shooting, triggering a multi-day manhunt that crossed state lines before authorities took him into custody.

Those who knew Laura remember her roles as a mother, grandmother, daughter, sister and friend. If anyone has information about what happened that night or knew Laura’s movements, please share what can help clarify the case.
