Judy Sadler, 64, was one of the four individuals found dead in a tragic murder-suicide that took place on May 5, 2025, in Keithville, Louisiana. According to investigators, Judy was fatally shot by her husband, Leroy Sadler, who also killed their son James Sadler, 29, their 2-year-old granddaughter Adalynn Mae Sadler, and then himself.

The Caddo Parish Sheriff’s Office responded to a welfare check at the Sadler residence and heard a gunshot before discovering the grim scene inside the home. Authorities confirmed that all four victims died from gunshot wounds.

Her daughter-in-law, Kara Hanning, emphasized the importance of mental health awareness, expressing heartbreak over the loss and calling for compassion and understanding in the face of such devastating circumstances.
