On January 5, 2015, in Washburn, Missouri, 29-year-old Casey Lee Brace was shot and killed inside her grandfather’s home. Her 76-year-old grandfather, Herbert Townsend, was also shot; he survived long enough to call 911 and identify the attacker to a responding deputy before dying at a hospital. The assailant was identified as Christopher Paschall, Casey’s 37-year-old ex-boyfriend and the father of her two-year-old daughter.

Paschall fled the scene with the couple’s young child, prompting a parental kidnapping alert and an arrest in Arkansas. In the days before the killings, Casey had received numerous threatening text messages from Paschall and had sought a protective order; deputies had been conducting extra patrols around the Townsend home because of safety concerns. The case resulted in multiple charges against Paschall, including two counts of first-degree murder and a parental kidnapping count.

Does anyone have information about Casey, Herbert, or where they lived in Washburn that could add context to what happened that day?
