Virginia Woman Strangled After Breaking Up With Boyfriend, Investigation Reveals
Bedford County, VA – Katlyn Lyon Montgomery, a Virginia woman, was found murdered in her apartment on October 7, 2022, after being strangled, according to CBS News. First responders initially suspected a drug overdose when they arrived at her apartment, after her roommate, Jacob Piercy, called 911 when Montgomery's daughter, Milani, alerted him that something was wrong with her mother. However, medical staff at the hospital noticed injuries on her head and neck, leading investigators to uncover the truth.
The case is the focus of an upcoming "48 Hours" episode titled "The Sneak Attack on Katlyn Lyon," airing Saturday, Jan. 31, on CBS and streaming on Paramount. The investigation revealed that Montgomery had recently broken up with her boyfriend prior to her death, according to CBS News.
Crystal Sale, Montgomery's mother, recounted the harrowing experience of seeing her daughter in the hospital. "I walk into the hospital, saw my daughter there, and I watched them do CPR, and I'll never forget that," she told CBS News. Montgomery's sisters have been providing support to Sale and caring for Montgomery's daughter, Milani. Sherry Cox, Montgomery's oldest sister, was taking care of Milani while periodically checking in on Katlyn in the hospital, according to CBS News. "I knew it was bad," Cox said. Tina Hopkins, another sister, recalled receiving a call from Cox, who said, "something was wrong with Katlyn but they didn't know."
The investigation into Montgomery's death is ongoing.
