Summary:
Neighbors of Evelyn Fleck discovered her nude remains beneath a deep January snow thirty years ago. Fleck's body was found in her own backyard on January 21st, 1994 and was partially concealed by an old refrigerator and a blizzard like snowfall. Fleck was strangled either on the evening or during the night of Jan. 20, 1994, while in bed. Her body presented multiple bruises on her shoulder and thighs, and scrapes on her feet. No arrest have been made in connection to her murder.
Vital Statistics
Circumstances of Offense:
Fleck and her husband were separated but weren't officially divorced, and interviews with close friends revealed the relationship was turbulent at best, with some even alleging abuse. Evelyn's husband told investigators he wasn't at the Main Street home on the night before her body was found, saying he worked on a vehicle late into the night and then retired home to his mother's house. Fleck's last evening alive acquainted her with three suspects — two men who gave her a ride to her home at 276 Main Street and her estranged husband with a shaky alibi.
Additional Details:
As part of a follow-up, records indicate investigators attempted to contact Fleck's husband in 2017 and it was noted he had remarried, had children and moved to the Philippines. Anyone with information can contact the Ashland, KY Police Dept at 606-385-3273.
