On October 25, 2014, 45-year-old caregiver Corey Lee Story was found dead on the master bedroom floor of the Kokomo, Indiana, home where he assisted paraplegic client Tommie Hammock Jr. Investigators reported Story had two gunshot wounds, one to the back and one to the back of the head; two spent shell casings were recovered near the body and there were no signs of forced entry or an obvious struggle. Ballistics tied the .38 caliber weapon to a firearm that had gone missing from Hammock’s collection.

Detectives learned Story had recently broken off a romantic relationship with 56-year-old family friend Cynthia Coates after living with her and her husband for several years. After an anonymous tip led police to a cemetery, officers recovered items buried at the grave of Coates’s deceased granddaughter that reportedly included latex gloves and the keys to Story’s car. Coates was arrested and charged; days before her scheduled trial in October 2016 she pleaded guilty to voluntary manslaughter and was sentenced to 20 years in prison.

Does anyone have information about Story’s last days or the relationships surrounding his employment that could help clarify what happened?
