Geoffrey Biddle, 66, was found dead at his Bethesda, Maryland, home on Windsor Lane on June 24, 2021, after colleagues requested a welfare check when he failed to report for work earlier that week. An autopsy showed he had been shot; the death was ruled a homicide. Biddle was a business executive and a former manager of Chevy Chase Village.

Investigators quickly focused on Biddle’s professional circle. Detectives linked unusual banking activity — checks signed by Biddle but endorsed by Billy J. Phillips III — to Phillips, a 36-year-old former employee of Biddle’s company, Payment Solutions, who had been fired in spring 2021 over alleged fraud. Court records say Phillips researched Biddle’s personal information and methods to muffle gunshots, then went to Biddle’s house on June 23, 2021, intending to steal checks. When he encountered Biddle in the basement, Phillips shot him multiple times, later using Biddle’s phone to email his workplace and forging and cashing thousands of dollars in checks.

Phillips was arrested at his home on June 29, 2021; investigators found Biddle’s bank card and checkbook in Phillips’ car. Does anyone have information about Biddle’s life or movements in the weeks before June 2021 that could add context to this case?
