2. LOVING WOMAN 

Loving and caring is how everyone described Lillie Oglesby. She was an Evangelist who was devoted to God, her husband and her children. Daughter Jocelyn said she and her mother had a very special relationship and they talked on the phone every day.

3. HER DEATH 

Lillie Oglesby's son Vernon had stopped to check on his mother that night when he left work. He found his mother lying on the floor next to her bed in a pool of blood and called 9-1-1. The Montgomery County Coroner said Lillie died from multiple blunt force trauma.

SO, WHAT HAPPENED? The front door was ajar when her son found Oglesby's body was found. News Center 7 talks to family members and police to find out what happened to Lillie Oglesby.
