Evelyn Hoey (December 15, 1910 – September 11, 1935) was a Broadway theatre torch singer and actress.

Hoey was found shot to death in an upstairs bedroom of oil heir Henry H. Rogers III's Indian Run Farm house, Wallace Township near Downingtown, Pennsylvania, in 1935.

[1][2] At the inquest, Rogers and Kelley said they were seated in the living room on the first floor when they heard the shot that caused Hoey's death.

Their testimony was supported by Yamada, Catalano, and a farmer who was present when he called to collect some wages he was owed.

[3] In October 1935 District Attorney William E. Parke requested that a grand jury investigate Hoey's death.

Andoga testified that he believed Hoey committed suicide because of anguish over a love affair with a New York theatrical man.
