She was found shot to death in June 2021 in Yalobusha County, seventy miles south of DeSoto County. Her exact date of death is under investigation. Henley reportedly been mowing the lawn at a farm house prior to the murder. The body of her sister-in-law, Kristina Michelle Jones, was found on December 26, 2020. A homemade sign at the site has photos of Jones under the phrase, “I was murdered.”
Henley's former colleague, [[Dan Eubanks]] of DeSoto County wrote in a [[Facebook]] post that he was heartbroken and angry about Henley's death. “What an absolute loss to our state, county, me personally, and most importantly her dear family. Please pray for her husband and son and their extended family ... and that God’s justice will be served on those responsible.”
