Virginia Woman Strangled After Ending Relationship; Investigation Focuses on Deception
Bedford County, VA – Katlyn Lyon Montgomery, a Virginia woman, was found unconscious in her apartment on October 7, 2022, and later died at a local hospital after being strangled, according to CBS News reports. Initially, first responders suspected a drug overdose when they arrived at her apartment, after receiving a 911 call from her roommate, Jacob Piercy, who was alerted by Katlyn's daughter, Milani. However, medical staff at the hospital noticed injuries to Montgomery's head and neck, leading investigators to uncover the truth: she had been murdered.
The case is the subject of an upcoming "48 Hours" episode titled "The Sneak Attack on Katlyn Lyon," airing Saturday, Jan. 31, at 109c on CBS and streaming on Paramount. The investigation is focusing on the circumstances surrounding Montgomery's death, which occurred days after she ended a relationship with a man she believed had been deceptive.
Crystal Sale, Montgomery's mother, recounted the devastating moment she arrived at the hospital. "I walk into the hospital, saw my daughter there, and I watched them do CPR, and I'll never forget that," Sale told CBS News. Montgomery's sisters have been providing crucial support to Sale and Milani. Sherry Cox, one of Montgomery's sisters, was caring for Milani, who was four years old at the time, while also checking on Montgomery at the hospital. "I knew it was bad," Cox said, recalling the uncertainty surrounding her sister's condition.
The investigation is ongoing, and authorities have not yet released details about potential suspects or motives. The "48 Hours" episode is expected to provide further insights into the case and the events leading up to Montgomery's death.
