LOUISVILLE, Ky. (WDRB) — Seven years after a Louisville woman was murdered, her family gathered for a memorial walk Wednesday night to raise awareness for domestic violence.
Brittany Wilson's dismembered body was found inside a freezer in a burned out mobile home on River Road in LaRue County on July 22, 2019. Investigators believe Wilson, 33, was killed at a home on Ashby Lane in Louisville on an unknown date as part of a double murder.Â
The body of another woman, Nicole Murray, 39, was also found shot to death in a car on the LaRue County property where Wilson was found. Police said Murray was shot twice during a "domestic situation" and died at the scene, which was at the mobile home.
Police said the suspect, Michael Murray, 40, confessed to both murders to a family member, set the home on fire and took his own life. He was found dead inside the mobile home.
On Wednesday evening, Wilson's family held a walk in her honor to the exact home she was murdered in on Ashby Lane.
"We want to come to the last place that she was at," said Christy Daugherty, Wilson's cousin. "Even if it's a sad point, and not a good remembrance, it's still the last place she was at. And that's where we feel closest to her."
Wilson's family has held several fundraising events to help domestic violence survivors.Â
In August of last year, on what would've been Wilson's birthday, her family hosted a "Speak Up and Speak Out" rally in her while raising funds for the Center for Women and Families and the work they do.
Daugherty said the family will continue to fight for Wilson and keep her memory alive.
