Galax mother and 21-month-old daughter victims of double homicide, killer at large

Alyssa Ann Kenny and her daughter Anastasia Leighann Alley

Galax, Virginia -
A 28-year-old mother and her 21-month-old daughter are dead in what police are calling a double homicide.

On Thursday, Alyssa Ann Kenny and her daughter Anastasia Leighann Alley were found dead inside their home on Laurel Street in Galax, Va. The two are lovingly referred to as Ally and Ana by family and friends.

“People don’t realize, an act of violence, the domino effect with the families and the friends,” said Alyssa’s mother, Stacy Ludy.

Ludy said Alyssa wanted nothing more than someone to love her unconditionally, adding that she gained that person on the day Anastasia was born.

“She lived and breathed that child,” Ludy said.

Ludy and other family members were visiting Alyssa from Pennsylvania and drove to her house on Thursday not knowing what had happened in the hours before.

“And we found police tape and cops and dogs,” said Rose Kenny, Alyssa’s aunt.

Clifton Alley is the grandfather to Anastasia and says he was good friends with Kenny.


"I don't see what in the world would make someone do a horrible thing like that," said Alley. "I use to take her to the store and stuff like that and I though the world of that little girl."

I perused FB, and from what I can tell, the child's father is in jail, which makes me wonder if it was some kind of retaliation against him. Otherwise, why kill the child too? She's not even two, so it's not like she could be a witness or anything like that.

Wonder if mom has a boyfriend.

I hope the perp is caught or ID'd soon. Can't have a double murderer running around. Sick. Why kill a baby???

From 3/24/16: 'Galax Homicide Investigation Continues' http://m.galaxgazette.com/galaxgaze...il.htm?contentguid=XYfLZHZ9&full=true#display

No arrest yet but "Preliminary reports from the deputy chief medical examiner have led Clark to state that the homicide will be prosecuted as a capital murder."

"Police are investigating the case as a burglary that resulted in a double murder."

Here is his FB page: https://www.facebook.com/RickyNofsinger?fref=ts

The police misspelled his name in their release. It's actually Nofsinger, not Noftsinger.

Arduca told FOX8 they don’t know of a connection between the mother, daughter and Nofsinger. “She’s never mentioned that name to anybody that I know of,” he said.

The family is also still waiting for their official cause of death but said remnants from their killings told part of the story.

“When we saw the bodies, we knew they fought. You could see the marks. There wasn’t enough makeup that could have covered it. It was a violent death,” Arduca said.

If you go to AK fb, it seems she didn't make any public posts on 3/9. And the last post was of her baby and another baby sleeping. I wonder if this is how the suspect met her. I am so upset over this. https://www.facebook.com/aakenny?fref=ts

I'm just glad that the family can start to be on the road to closure, hope this man gets death penalty if Va. has it.
