In a quiet home on Jackson Street in Henderson, Kentucky, a tragedy unfolded that would leave a family and community in mourning. Robin Lynn Fulkerson-Glunt, a 55-year-old female and dedicated nurse, was found deceased in her residence on Friday, February 7, 2020. Her life, along with that of her partner of many years, 61-year-old Jennifer Glunt, was cut short by apparent gunshot wounds in an event that authorities would later rule a murder-suicide.
The grim discovery was made by a
concerned family member who had gone to the couple's home. After receiving no answer at the door, the family member peered through a window and saw a person lying on the floor. Gaining entrance to the house, the devastating scene was fully realized in the family room where both women were found deceased. The sense of loss was compounded by the discovery of their five beloved pets, four dogs and a cat, who were also found dead within the home.
Investigators from the Henderson Police Department and the Henderson County Coroner's office were called to the scene. A weapon was recovered inside the residence, and there were no signs of forced entry. While the authorities have not publicly identified which woman was the perpetrator in the murder-suicide, the investigation concluded that the deaths were the result of this tragic event. Autopsies were scheduled to be performed to provide further clarity on the circumstances surrounding their deaths.
Robin, born on February 29, 1964, was remembered as a loving nurse and a member of the Nightingale Nurses. The community was left to grapple with the sudden and violent loss of a woman described as a cherished family member and a dedicated professional. Her death, and that of her partner, serves as a somber reminder of the unseen struggles that can unfold behind closed doors.
