In the early morning hours of March 7, 2012, 27 year old mother of 3, Amy Ellison was shot and killed inside her trailer home on Brigham Landing Road. She was pregnant with her fourth child.
Around 5:30 a.m., her eldest daughter called 911, telling dispatch that her mother was “laying on the floor, bloody,” and pleading, “Just get here fast because we’re here alone.” Deputies arrived to find Amy dead from a gunshot wound to her abdomen.
The heartbreaking discovery by her own child and the loss of both Amy and her unborn baby devastated the family and sparked an investigation into who entered the home before dawn and why.
