A 10 On Your Side update to the investigation of the death of a child in Covington last year. Covington Police say they’ve charged a man and woman with murder, in connection with the death of a 2-year-old back in January of 2008.
Investigators say on Sunday, January 20, 2008, Covington emergency dispatch received a call around 5:30 p.m., asking for help for a 2-year-old girl who was unresponsive.
Covington Rescue Squad members took the child, now identified as Lakin Brown, to Alleghany Regional Hospital. Doctors say the child died.
Covington Police say an Alleghany County grand jury indicted Jeffrey Ailstock and Katrina Hyler on felony homicide, as well as family abuse and neglect of children charges.
Both Ailstock and Hyler are being held at the Alleghany Regional Jail.

A law enforcement official directed me to a Va Court Information website and it stated that there was a capias on the indictment for Katrina Hyler on that charge back a few months ago in her criminal record history.After That charge it read.2nd degree murder.Thats where I saw the printed information,on a public records website .The same Kind you can look up for the divorces ,marraiges,births and deaths on record,it was a Commonwealth of Virginia website .You are missing the point .This is not about those smal frivolous things ,this is about is Katrina and Jeffery Hyler guilty of murdering their innocent child.I hope not .I swear I hope that there is an explanation .This is real newsworthy to alot of people ,just like other high profile cases have been that we.as the public has a right to know .I still wish The Family of this poor child my condolences,no one but them will ever know all the events that took place that tragic night except for them and God.May God Bless everyone involved and I pray that they recieve whatever help and guidance they need from God right now because he loves us all.No matter if were guilty or not all you have to do is confess your sins and ask to be washed clean and I believe from everything I was taught that anyone can be forgiven.
seems like to me that this person on here that talking about this story is so worryed about it and could just put her commit and want to keep doing it i feel about the littel girl to but shes trying to drag all of this thew the mud it does sound like she has some agast this person or people other then this story shes going to much in details about stuff that might be true or not but the point is its nothing but some talking about somebody or people that she donent now that much about becaues if you care that much about you would say what you had to say and leave at that and she keeps going on about it if the mothers are worred about it they would put a commet or have a meeting about it or go to them but not just one person that wants to keep gossip about her and the family its not helping the other kids by doing this am not sure what her proplem is with them but it seems like it more then this and yea people can say or post any thing but shes taking a littel to far i think i understand the proplem with th child and people that wants to do any thing to a child but the commits seems like it getting personal like she got somthing againt the stepmother then this case might be wrong but its what it sounds like
dont need to be that smart to now that anyboy would say some in the paper it would be there it seems like that you got to much time on your hands that you think put me doen hurt but it shows what kind of person you are and am still trying to find the news about them hiding out i dont think hiding out means given and adress or working ing salem is hiding out and if they was hiding make more since thay would go far away the salem thats only about an hour away
I checked out this murders myspace. WOW she seems like a real winner. She says she wishes people would keep their mouths shut, well it is a little late for that!! Once you are charged with murder you are going to be topic of conversation. I cannot say what I know. But I don’t think the woman is a risk to neighbors children although if she is anywhere near a daycare that is just scary. And lets just say it was all the Jeffery guy that did this horrible thing. It is posted all over her Myspace that she loves him and blah blah. How could you still love someone that murdered your baby? Seriously, I can’t wait until these two go to jail. Child killers get the worst treatment! As for social services I was told that unless they have done direct harm to that specific child they will sometimes leave them with there parents. And I agree, this dart person is obviously uneducated. I just really hope that justice is served for this beautiful little girl. My prayers go out to the real father and the family that that honestly loved Lakin.
well i just went back on this site and theres nothing about her or him hiding out in salem or she lost her kids no where so if it was on it would be on here and its not and i check all the others to and the paper on line theres nothing about that
It was in the Roanoke Times and The Fincastle Herald ,my mother called me and read it to me,also this is the news channel 10 website and it aired on the local news.
well i read all of the papers and watch the <news> and thers nothing about hiding out or she donsent have her kids soif your geting a paper just for you let us know what the name of the paper is becaues what your saying is not in the paper
I do not have any contact whatsoever with Mrs.Hyler ,this is a place where people put their thoughts and comments about public newsstories.It was printed in the LOCAL newspapers and put on the LOCAL news,the media made this information availible to the public .I have just as much right to voice my thoughts and concerns as anyone else does as you see Im not the only one,if it was agaianst the law to voice your opinion on this particular website their wouldnt be a registration process to do so .I do not care anything about what has to do with anything going on next door except I think we in this nieghborhood has a right to know if we are living in the same vicinity as a person who has killed a child.I would want to know what happenened no matter who the Family was.it just so happens that I live nextdoor and it truly scares me and I want to know the facts .I look forward to the court hearings and I sincerely hope that they weren the ones responsible for the death of that child then I will feel better knowing its safer around here.Also the next time you post something could you try to be clearer in how you type its hard to understand what you are typing and answer questions .It looks like the opinions of an uneducated ,misinformed person that cant spell.The real deal is guilty or not, but it would be easier to let your voice be heard if we could actually read what you were saying because whenever you have posted anything no one can read it.I do not want and will never want any contact with the family nextdoor and she is also ordered to not bother me and my family ,Thank God.I just need to know if kids are safe around here.
ok i thoutht when you hide out you dont work and give an adress to her fathers i awayes thoutht that when you hide out you dont give an adress or work ther in town mabe that meaning change dont know any body got that much time on there hands could look there name up and it will tell you they live in salem i dont call that hiding out and if the mothers in the street is worred thy need to go to them and ask not on a computer and no am not taking up for what happen but you cant tell people what happen when you or i realy now what happen that why there going to a trail and if you look it up you would see in the coart recoreds that she has custy of her kids what the scard lady is saying she has no idea whats going on and if you look up in city recoreds that shes not even sopposed to have any contact or say anything about the people that lives next doorit looks like this women only on here doing this for a reson not about the littel girland not taking up for no one but cant stand people that like to start stuff agast people that thay dont understand or have somthing agast somebody
