On October 4, 2010, sisters Thelma Mitchum Haddock, 73, and Naomi Johnson, 65, were found shot to death in the home they shared in Kingstree, Williamsburg County, South Carolina. Their father later discovered both bodies after finding his son, Joseph Jermaine Brand, wandering in the sisters’ yard. Brand was arrested, reportedly confessed, and was charged with two counts of murder, armed robbery and burglary.

In 2012 Brand was diagnosed with schizophrenia and ruled incompetent to stand trial; he was sent to a group home for treatment. After his release in 2016 he was seen in Kingstree, which distressed the victims’ family and the community. In May 2022 warrants were reissued, and Brand was located and arrested in Colorado and was awaiting extradition back to South Carolina to face the charges.

Are there people who knew Thelma or Naomi or who have information about the months before October 2010 who can help fill gaps in the timeline?
