In the quiet community of Dunmor, Kentucky, a sad discovery was made on December 17, 2014. Nancy B. Coomer, an 84-year-old White female, was found deceased in her home. She was not alone; her husband, 85-year-old Albert Jehiel Coomer, was also found deceased by her side. Both had suffered from what appeared to be gunshot wounds.
Investigators from the Kentucky State Police arrived at the scene to a somber and puzzling situation.
There were no signs of a break-in or any forced entry into the Coomer's residence, which suggested that the couple may have known their assailant or that the events unfolded from within the home. This lack of forced entry led authorities to consider the possibility of a murder-suicide, although they did not immediately confirm this theory pending the results of an autopsy and a more thorough investigation. The community was left in a state of shock and sadness over the violent end to the lives of the elderly couple.
Nancy was born on January 1, 1930, in Colorado Springs, Colorado, and was a retired AT&T switchman. Her husband, Albert, was a retired machinist and a veteran of the U.S. Army. They are survived by their two sons, Clinton and Mark Coomer, and seven grandchildren. As of the most recent available information, no arrests have been made in connection with the deaths of Nancy and Albert Coomer, and no suspects have been publicly identified. The case remains a sorrowful mystery within the Dunmor community, with no further public developments reported by law enforcement.
