Amanda Seay was 27 when she was found dead at an apartment on Woodlyn Drive in Fredericksburg, Virginia, after a neighbor reported a single gunshot on September 11, 2021. Her live-in boyfriend, Christopher Alexander, then 26, initially told police the gunshot was a self-inflicted wound, but detectives later identified inconsistencies between his account and the physical evidence at the scene.

An autopsy and the investigative findings led authorities to conclude Amanda had been murdered. On September 15, 2021, Alexander was arrested and charged with second-degree murder, use of a firearm in the commission of a felony, and discharging a firearm within city limits causing injury. He was held without bond at the Rappahannock Regional Jail. The legal outcome was not provided.

If anyone knew Amanda, her living situation, or has information about what happened that night, please come forward.
