Her vehicle was left at the residence but her purse was gone. Autrey was reported missing at 7.30 pm on February 20, 2008. The following month, her grandson confessed to her murder saying he killed her at her home where he also lived. Money was apparently not a motive but her grandson is known to have an alcohol problem.
