An elderly Ellington, Missouri couple were killed during a robbery that turned deadly on October 18, 2017. James Rogers Nance, 86, and his wife Janet, 72, were shot in their home; Janet died the same day and James died a few days later. A 73-year-old female friend who returned to the house was shot twice in the head but survived and later gave information that helped identify suspects.

Investigators say the incident began as a robbery carried out under the pretense of work; authorities identified two suspects, David J. Young, 67, of Ironton, and Timothy Boyd Callahan, 44, of Farmington. Both men were arrested in Deerfield Township, Ohio, extradited to Missouri and charged with two counts of first-degree murder, three counts of armed criminal action, first-degree robbery, and first-degree assault. The county prosecutor announced an intention to seek the death penalty and cited evidence of premeditation.

Does anyone have information about the victims, the suspects’ activities in southeast Missouri, or the events leading up to the October 18, 2017 attack?
