On Dec. 29, 2025, at approximately 10:30 a.m., 50-year-old Emily Kelly allegedly called police to report that Jor’Dynn Duncan was in cardiac arrest, the Suffolk County District Attorney’s Office said.
First responders found the child unconscious and took her to a hospital, where she died from her injuries.
An autopsy determined that Jor’Dynn died of a massive, untreated infection, the source of which was sharp-force injuries. In total, officials documented nearly 90 injuries on her body at the time of her death.
The investigation revealed Kelly is Jor’Dynn’s father’s fiancée. In December 2024, child protective services placed Jor’Dynn with Kelly at Kelly’s request, and in April 2025, Kelly gained full custody and guardianship of the child.
Investigators allegedly recovered extensive photographic and video evidence from Kelly’s cellphone and cloud-based accounts documenting the prolonged abuse and torture of the 7-year-old.
That evidence allegedly included prolonged restraint, physical injuries, and lack of medical care for those injuries dating back to January 2025.
