Bertha Garner Douglas Frye was 76 when she was found dead from a single gunshot wound at her home in Carthage, North Carolina, on February 11, 2010. She was born December 22, 1933, in Moore County to James Alexander Garner and Virgie Ritter Garner, and was laid to rest in Johnson Grove Cemetery in Vass. She had been preceded in death by brothers Dock Layne Jr. and Gary Garner.

The alleged shooter was her husband, Gayle Lynn Frye, who was 76 at the time. Police had not established a clear motive for the shooting. The case was one of several homicides in the state during early 2010 and attracted attention locally because of the couple’s ages and the domestic circumstances reported.

Does anyone have information about the Fryes or that day in Carthage that could shed light on what happened?
