Kentucky State Police are investigating an apparent murder-suicide after two people were found shot to death in a Jackson County home. It happened on Highway 2004 near Sand Gap.
The Jackson County deputy coroner has identified the couple as 47 year old Jeff Wilder and his girlfriend 48 Nancy Angel. Both were shot to death in what the coroner suspects was a murder- suicide.
“We lost two known people in our community. It’s a sad loss. It’s people that were good in the community that were around our area,” said Linda Isaacs, who runs the Whistle Stop Gas and Grocery in Sand Gap and says Angel and Wilder were frequent customers.

“It’s a sad tragedy for the family. We just have to remember the family in our prayers,” said Isaacs.
One neighbor, who didn’t want to go on camera, says she heard screaming from down the hill and called 911.
“The only thing I heard is that her daughter found her this morning. Like had gone down there earlier and tried to get them and couldn’t and then went back down there later a and found them,” said Logan Brown lives nearby and says Angel was her father-in-law’s mother-in-law.
“Just utter shock and right in my backyard. And this is such a small town. Stuff like that doesn’t happen,” said Brown.
She says the couple lived on the property for a little more than a year.
“She was nice, kept to herself. Didn’t really bother anybody and neither did he. They were quiet people. Seemed like they were happy together,” said Brown.
Kentucky State Police is investigating and an autopsy is planned for Saturday in Frankfort.
