Tragic Double Incident Shocks Danville Community: Grandmother Found Dead, Grandson Struck by Train

On Friday afternoon, Dec. 6, a quiet neighborhood on College Park Drive became the scene of a chilling discovery. Danville Police were called for a well-being check at the home of 81-year-old Patsy Scearce, only to find her lifeless body with severe trauma. Adding to the shock, earlier that day at 11:46 a.m., a train in the city reported striking a man who had walked directly into its path near West Main Street and Booth Road. The injured man, identified as Scearce's grandson and housemate, 35-year-old Barry Pyron Jr., has now been charged with second-degree murder.

Details remain limited as the investigation unfolds, leaving the community reeling from the tragic events.

A new safety program called Operation Lockout has been launched with the goal of reaching senior citizens, those with disabilities, and others through a faster response for service.

Through this safety program, participants will be provided with a lockbox to keep a key to their home in a secure location that will only be accessible by officers. The locks were generously provided by Lowe’s Home Improvement, The Home Depot, and Harbor Freight.

Operation Lockout was created due to a need for quickly reaching seniors who may be alone and cannot get to the door. By having ease of access, this program could reduce costs suffered from having to break a window or bust through a door to reach someone having an emergency.

Anyone interested in Operation Lockout should contact Danville Police Department Crime Prevention Officer Ernest Coppage (434) 797-8898 ext. 3 to learn if they qualify or for additional details.
