Burglar who called 911 after finding victim’s body gets prison term

A 38-year-old Leavenworth man, who called 911 after finding a woman’s body in the home he was burglarizing, was sentenced Wednesday to two years in prison. Bryon Keylon admitted that on Jan. 8, he broke into a home in the 1900 block of South Fourth Street in Leavenworth. Once inside, he found a dead woman and called police, according to the Leavenworth County Attorney’s office. When police responded, they found the woman in her bed with no indication of foul play.

During their investigation, police found that a window had been broken and learned that the woman’s purse was missing. They also found a button in the broken window. Police asked Keylon why he was in the house, and they noticed that his jacket’s buttons matched the one they found. Keylon eventually admitted to entering the home through the broken window and throwing the purse in a trash bin nearby.
