On the afternoon of September 1, 2023, deputies from the Morgan County Sheriff’s Office responded to a residence in the 14000 block of Coffee Drive, just south of Versailles, Missouri. At about 4 p.m. they found the bodies of 33-year-old Jennifer Lynn Silvey and her 53-year-old husband, Robert Silvey, outside their home; both had sustained apparent gunshot wounds. Authorities describe the situation as a double homicide investigation and have said there is no ongoing danger to the community.

Jennifer Silvey was a White woman who had lived in Versailles for about thirteen years. She worked at Walmart for more than a decade and had more recently been employed at Quaker Windows in Eldon. An active member of Lakeside Community Church of Gravois Mills, she attended services and a weekly Bible study. Family and friends remembered her as kind, generous, and good-hearted; she enjoyed walks, mushroom hunting, shopping, and time with family.

No arrests or suspects have been publicly identified and the investigation remains active. If anyone knew Jennifer or Robert or saw anything unusual near Coffee Drive on or before September 1, 2023, contact the Morgan County Sheriff’s Office with information.
