Janet Nance, 72, was shot and later died at a hospital on October 18, 2017, in a deadly attack at the couple’s home near Ellington, Missouri. Her 86-year-old husband, James Nance, was also shot and died several days later. A 73-year-old friend of the couple survived two gunshot wounds to the head.

Authorities say the violence began after what investigators believe started as a scheme to scam the elderly couple. Two suspects, 44-year-old Timothy Callahan of Farmington and 67-year-old David Young of Ironton, were arrested in Deerfield Township, Ohio, near Cincinnati following a multi-agency investigation. Prosecutors charged both men with two counts of first-degree murder, armed criminal action, robbery, and assault; the Reynolds County prosecutor announced plans to seek the death penalty, alleging the killings were premeditated.

The suspects are reported to have targeted elderly victims before; Young had been on probation for financial exploitation of the elderly and faced recent charges in another alleged scam. Call anyone who knew Janet, James, or their friend or who has information about the case. What can readers add about the Nances or the neighborhood near Ellington?
