Jack Michael Rowland, 51, and his mother Evelyn Rowland were found dead inside their Shepherdstown Pike home in Sharpsburg, Maryland, on Wednesday, May 2, 2018. Both appeared to have sustained fatal gunshot wounds; the rear door of the house had been forced open and a single-shot shotgun was missing from a gun cabinet. Jack had been known locally for running the family farm, caring for hogs and beef cattle, and was missed when he failed to attend a planned meeting and the day’s livestock chores went undone.

A family friend who arrived to pick up hay noticed the house was quiet and the family’s GMC pickup truck was missing, prompting a welfare check. Investigators focused on Evelyn’s 24-year-old grandson, Darren Scott Warner, who had lived at the home for four years and had allegedly been caught stealing from the farm and relatives in the past. Warner and his 20-year-old companion, Destiny Oyler, were located, detained by the Washington County Special Response Team, and taken into custody without incident.

Both Warner and Oyler were arrested and charged with multiple counts including two counts of first-degree murder, conspiracy and other related offenses; they were being held without bond at the Washington County Detention Center. Who in the Sharpsburg community might have seen the Rowland pickup or noticed anything unusual around Shepherdstown Pike on or shortly before May 2, 2018?
